About Johann Andreas Streicher
- Johann Andreas Streicher (13 December 1761 in Stuttgart – 25 May 1833 in Vienna) was a German pianist, composer and piano maker.
- In 1793 he married Nannette Streicher (1769–1833), another piano maker and the daughter of Augsburg piano maker Johann Andreas Stein.
- In 1794 they moved to Vienna.
- From that time Streicher worked as a piano teacher and became increasingly known for his compositions.
- The Streicher piano-making business provided at least one fortepiano to Beethoven in his early years, of which the composer was fond, writing that it was "too good for me ...
- because it robs me of the freedom to produce my own tone".
