Franck, Johann Wolfgang (1644–c. 1710)

German composer. He was Kapellmeister at Ansbach between 1673 and 1679, until he killed a musician of the chapel and wounded his wife from jealousy, and fled to Hamburg, where he produced 17 operas 1679–86. After 1690 he lived in London for some years, giving concerts with Robert King, contributing songs to the Gentleman's Journal and writing one for Colley Cibber's Love's Last Shift, and also writing music for a masque by Motteux which was added to Shadwell's adaptation of Shakespeare's Timon of Athens.
