Best Answer

Those who held a Kapellmeister position (usually involving supervision of other musicians) included:

-- Johann Sebastian Bach (for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cothen)

-- Joseph Haydn for the Eszterhazy family of Austria

-- George Frideric Handel (for George I when he was Elector of Hanover)

Also

-- Georg Reutter (the Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna)

Although addressed as Kappelmeister, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was more correctly the Emperor's Kammercompositeur while Antonio Salieri was Kappelmeister of Austria.
