Amon, Albert 26.dec.1826-30.apr.1910 Austria, Vienna - ?Vienna
pianist, a great and valued composer for zither but he could not play the zither himself, studied music with Gottfried Preyer at Vienna Conservatory, he was not a professional musician but opted for a career as civil servant, he became an official in Linz, until 1876 he composed chamber music, masses and orchestral pieces, then turned to composing for the zither, he guarded his compositions with an almost whimsical timidity, afraid that his compositions got crushing reviews in the musical magazines, even his own zither club left very few of his compositions, he only published a few during his lifetime and he stated in his will that his manuscripts were only to be kept in private
