Conradin Kreutzer was a German composer, pianist, and conductor born on November 22, 1780, in Messkirch, Germany. He was a prominent figure in the German Romantic Era and was known for his contributions to opera and chamber music. Kreutzer began his musical studies at a young age and trained under several renowned composers, including Ignaz Holzbauer and Johann Georg Albrechtsberger.
As a composer, Kreutzer was most famous for his operas. His first opera, "Das Nachtlager in Granada," premiered in Vienna in 1834 and was met with critical acclaim. He went on to compose several more operas, including "Das Fest der Handwerker," "Die Jungfrau von Orleans," and "Melusine."
