Johann Andreas Silbermann, also known as Jean-André Silbermann (26 June 1712, in Strasbourg – 11 February 1783, in Strasbourg) was an 18th-century organ-builder, as were his father Andreas Silbermann and his paternal uncle Gottfried Silbermann.[1][2]
Mozart met with Silbermann during his (Mozart's) stay in Strasbourg in 1778, and played on the pipe organs in the two Lutheran churches Saint-Thomas (preserved), and Temple Neuf (destroyed in 1870), which he called ″Silbermann's best".[3][4]
Pipe organs by J. A. Silbermann in their original instrumental state can be found in the following churches, among others:[5]
- St Georges, Châtenois
- Jesuit Church, Molsheim
- St Maurice, Soultz-Haut-Rhin
- St Maurice, Soultz-les Bains
- St Thomas, Strasbourg
