Full biography Georg Matthias Monn

Georg Matthias Monn was an Austrian composer , organist, and music teacher who lived from 1717 to 1750. He was a notable figure in the transition from the Baroque to the Classical period in music , and his compositions marked this transitional phase. His works were greatly appreciated in Austria during his lifetime, although after his death, they fell into obscurity for some time until the 20th century.

Monn's music is known for its elegance and sophistication, and he is considered a key representative of the so-called "Mannheim school," which was known for its galant style and use of the orchestra. Some of his most notable works include his Symphony in G minor, his Concerto for cello, and his Concerto for harpsichord, all of which showcase his innovative approach to composition and his mastery of various musical instruments.

Although Monn's life was cut short at the age of 33, his legacy lived on, and his music continued to influence later composers in Austria and beyond. His contributions to the musical world were especially significant in terms of his influence on the development of the Classical style, and he is today recognized as one of the key figures in the emergence of this groundbreaking musical movement.
