Johann SchobertJohann Schobert (around 1720 – August 28, 1767) was a German composer and clavichordist. His place of birth is not known. Most likely he was either from Silesia, as suggested by Friedrich Melchoir von Grimm, or he was from Nuremberg, as claimed by Christian Schubart in his autobiography. His definite biography begins in 1760 when he moved to Paris. He composed many books of sonatas for his instrument, most of them with an accompanying part for another instrument. These were a significant influence on the very young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who arranged a number of Schobert's movements for use in his own piano sonatas and concertos. Schobert died in Paris, along with his wife and one of his children, after mistakenly eating poisonous mushrooms. Schobert, Johann Schobert, Johann
