Johann Georg Lickl, also Ligkl, Hans-Georg Lickl, Hungarian: Lickl György (11 April 1769 – 12 May 1843) was an Austrian composer, organist, Kapellmeister in the main church of Pécs, and piano teacher.
Lickl was born in Korneuburg, Lower Austria, and orphaned as a child. He studied under Witzig, who was the organist at the church of Korneuburg.
He relocated to Vienna in 1785 and studied under Albrechtsberger and Joseph Haydn. He also formed a close friendship with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart whom he also took lessons from. Later in the 1780s, he became organist at the Carmelite church in Leopoldstadt.[1] He collaborated with Emanuel Schikaneder on a number of Singspiele in the 1790s, working in the Theater auf der Wieden. He died, aged 74, in Fünfkirchen (Hungarian: Pécs), southern Royal Hungary, Imperial Austria.
He wrote operas, one wind quintet, three string quartets,[2] and served as a Kapellmeister at several churches. From 1807 until his death he was choirmaster at what is now Pécs.[3]
A large portion of his output is sacred music, including masses and requiems.
In 1843, some of his piano- and chamber music works were published by Tobias Haslinger (Vienna), Johann Anton André (Offenbach) and Johann Carl Gombart (Augsburg).
His sons, Karl Georg Lickl (1801, Vienna – 1877, Vienna)[4] and Ägid(ius Ferdinand) Karl Lickl (1803, Vienna – 1864, Trieste),[5] were also composers, whose output includes works for piano and for physharmonica, including a transcription of Beethoven's Mass in C major for physharmonica and piano.[6]
