Johann Schobert: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Johann Schobert (around 1735 - August 28, 1767) was a German composer and clavichordist.

Born in Silesia, he moved to Paris in 1760. He composed many books of sonatas for his instrument, most of them with an accompanying part for another instrument. These were a significant influence on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who arranged a number of Schobert's movements for use in his own piano sonatas and concertos.

Schobert died in Paris after mistakenly eating poisonous mushrooms.
