Franz Asplmayr was born in 1728 and lived to be 58 years old. Born in Linz, Austria, he studied violin with his father initially and was mainly self-taught in composition. He was a prolific composer of ballets, symphonies, chamber music. Influenced by composers of the Mannheim School, Asplmayer combined techniques with the developing Viennese style. During his life time he met both Haydn (in 1760) and Mozart (in the 1780s). He moved to Vienna in the late 1740s. In 1759 he started serving in the Imperial court.
