Friedrich Schlichtegroll

Adolf Heinrich Friedrich Schlichtegroll (8 December 1765 in Waltershausen – 4 December 1822 in Munich) was a teacher, scholar and the first biographer of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His brief account of Mozart's life (6000 words) was published in a volume of twelve obituaries Schlichtegroll prepared and called ''Nekrolog auf das Jahr 1791'' ("Necrology for the year 1791"). The book appeared in 1793, two years after Mozart's death. Provided by Wikipedia
