Franz Ignaz Beck

German composer, conductor, violinist and teacher Franz Ignaz Beck was born in Mannheim on 20 February 1734 and became an important composer of the Mannheim School's second generation. His twenty-four symphonies are striking and original. Beck spent most of his life in France and died in Bordeaux on 31 December 1809, aged seventy-five.
