(Redirected from Franz Gleissner)
Franz Johannes Gleißner (1759 – 18 September 1818)[1] was a German lithographer and composer. In the late 18th century, he met Alois Senefelder, with whom he collaborated for approximately 30 years using lithography as a method of reproduction to print music scores. Using the songs composed by Gleißner,[2] Senefelder demonstrated that lithography could be successfully used for music publication.
Gleißner's compositions include masses, the oratorio Lazarus, about[vague] thirteen symphonies, much chamber music, and some stage works.[1]
In 1803, Gleißner made a catalog of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's manuscripts in Constanze's estate.[3]
