His name has been preserved solely due to misatribution. But a very capable Composer in his own right none the less. Please listen to his gorgeous Quintet for Piano & Winds in E Flat Op.5 especially the very catchy Menuetto. Ok it's nothing earth shattering or original. In fact you could even say he was at best an imitator of Mozart & Haydn. Still the music itself is gorgeous.

It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
