Born in Biberach an der Riss, Justin Heinrich Knecht became its music director in 1771 and, from 1792, organist of St Martin’s church, shared by Lutherans and Catholics. A theorist and teacher, he published a Vollständige Orgelschule (1795-1798); his organ pastorale interrupted by a thunderstorm (1794) shares the descriptive taste of his symphony Le Portrait musical de la nature.
