Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck

Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck (18 February 1770 – 23 July 1846) was a German composer and organist of the late classical and early romantic eras.

Rinck was born in Elgersburg, Thuringia, and died in Darmstadt, aged 76.

He studied with Johann Christian Kittel (1732–1809), (a pupil of Johann Sebastian Bach), and eventually became Kantor at the music school in Darmstadt, where he was also a court organist from 1813.
He composed prolifically, and an organ primer of his enjoyed wide popularity.
