Christian Heinrich Rinck

Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck (18 February 1770 – 7 August 1846) was a German composer and organist of the late classical and early romantic eras.

Rinck was born in Elgersburg (in present-day Thuringia), and died in Darmstadt, aged 76.

He composed prolifically, and an organ primer of his enjoyed wide popularity.
