Johann Georg Hohenzollern (1525-1598) was the Margrave and Elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia from 1571 until his death.
Faced with large debts accumulated during the reign of his father Joachim II, he instituted a grain tax which drove part of the peasantry into dependence on the exempt nobility. Though a staunch Lutheran opposed to the rise of Calvinism, he permitted the admission of Calvinist refugees from the wars in the Spanish Netherlands and France. He was succceeded by his son Joachim Friedrich.
JohannGeorg Albrechtsberger (February 3, 1736 - March 7, 1809) was an Austrian musician who was born at Klosterneuburg, near Vienna.
He originally studied music at Melk Abbey and philosophy at a Jesuit seminary in Vienna and 1755 he went on to study musical composition under the court organist, Mann, and became one of the most learned and skillful contrapuntists of his age.
His compositional style derives from Johann Joseph Fux's counterpoint, who was Kapellmeister at St. Stephens' Cathedral 1713-1741, a position that Albrechtsberger would hold 52 years later.
