From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Josef von Lindpaintner (born in Koblenz, 9 December 1791 - died Nonnenhorn (Bavaria), on Lake Constance, 21 August 1856) was a German composer and conductor.
The son of a tenor, he studied with Peter Winter and Joseph Graetz. From 1819 onwards he was based in Stuttgart. His early operas were Singspiel, but under the influence of Weber his interest shifted to romantic opera.
His best known opera Der Vampyr has similarities with Der Freischütz and the later operas of Richard Wagner.
