Preface:
Joseph Kuffner was born in 1776 in Würzburg, Bavaria. Like most professional musicians today, Kuffner had a multifaced career with many different types of positions over the years. Throughout his career as a violinist, a conductor and as the bandmaster of an army regiment, Joseph Kuffner maintained his active career as a composer.
Kuffner was a musical contemporary of Beethoven and the well-loved composer of many flute works, Friedrich Kuhlau, and falls squarely into the clasiscal period in style. His music is charming, accessible, and fun to play. A prolific composer, Kuffner wrote seven symphonies, several concertos, and a great quantity of chamber music for all compinations, and contributed greatly to the guitar repertory. He wrote two operas, Sporn und Schärpe and Der Cornett.
