Danzi,
Franz (Ignaz),
German composer and teacher; b. Schwetzingen, June 15, 1763; d. Karlsruhe,
April 13, 1826. He received primary instruction in music from his father,
Innocenz Danzi, a cellist; later took theory lessons with Abbé Vogler. In
1783 he joined the Court Orch. in Munich; then (1807— 12) served as
