Dramatic composer, son of a poor tailor, obtained through his fine soprano voice a position as choir-boy in his native place. Later he studied law at the University of Leipsic, and music under J. A. Hiller. The success of some of his compositions induced him to give up law for music, and in 1876–79 he was operatic conductor of Seiler's travelling theatre company, and then of the Grossmann-Hellmuth company at Bonn.

The theatre was given up in 1784, and his salary was cut down, but in 1788 a new court theatre was established and gave him employment. In 1794 the war stopped this theatre also, and not until 1796 did he obtain an engagement as conductor at Dessau.
