Joseph Küffner (Kueffner) (31 March 1776 in Würzburg – 9 September 1856 in Würzburg)[1][2] was a German musician and composer who, among other achievements, contributed significantly to the guitar repertory, including chamber music.
At this point he became bandmaster with a Bavarian Army regiment.
[3][5] A quintet of Küffner's for clarinet and strings was once attributed to Carl Maria von Weber,[2] and is still recorded in collections of Weber's music.
[6] He composed seven symphonies and a large number of works for various chamber music combinations.
His output also contains a substantial quantity of music for classical guitar (some of it being available in modern editions).
