Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (1736-1809) was an Austrian music theorist, organist, and composer. Born in Klosterneuburg on the 3rd February 1736, he originally studied music at Melk Abbey and philosophy at a Benedictine seminary in Vienna, and became one of the most learned and skillful contrapuntists of his age. Albrechtsberger's earliest classmates included Michael Haydn and Franz Joseph Aumann. After being employed as organist at Raab in 1755 and Maria Taferl in 1757, he was appointed Thurnermeister back at Melk Abbey.
