Fischer, Johann Christian (1733–1800)| German oboist and composer. Concert tours took him in 1768 to London, England, where he settled, marrying the daughter of the painter Thomas Gainsborough in 1780. He played frequently at the concerts promoted by Johann Christian Bach and Carl Abel (1768–81), and was a member of the queen's band. |
| He was in the service of the Saxon court at Dresden 1760–64. He was again on tour in Europe 1786–90. Mozart, hearing him in Vienna in 1787, thought little of his playing, though he had already composed piano variations on a minuet by Fischer (K179) in 1774. |
Works ten oboe concertos, divertimenti for two flutes, flute sonatas and quartets, and other pieces. |
