Johannes Andreas Amon was a composer who was a proficient singer as well as a fine performer on the horn, violin, viola and piano. Being a traveling performer with Punto he had the opportunity to meet Hiller, Reichardt, Hoffmeister, Haydn, and Mozart. The Kappelmeister position in Oettingen-Wallerstein was filled by Amon for a period of eight years. Contributions in composition abound and include concertos, symphonies, masses, cantatas, and the majority of music genres, with the exception of opera. During his later years Amon also taught voice. ~ Keith Johnson, All Music Guide
