August Eberhard Müller

He then studied under Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach at Bückeburg, where Müller served as organist at the Ulrichskirche until 1788.

On the recommendation of Johann Friedrich Reichardt, whom he had met in Berlin in 1792, Müller was made organist of the St. Nicholas Church in Leipzig in 1794.

In 1800 he was made the assistant to Johann Adam Hiller, who he succeeded as Thomaskantor on his death in 1804.

Müller kept J. S. Bach's works in the repertoire and also contributed to the spread of Viennese Classicism.

He composed for the piano, writing two concertos, fourteen sonatas and various capriccios and other pieces.
