Johann Anton Andre, a German composer, born at Offenbach, near Frankfort-on-the-Main, Oct. 6, 1775, died there, April 5, 1842. His father was Johann Andre, founder of the celebrated musical establishment, which still continues to prosper at Offenbach, and which under his son's direction attained a high degree of celebrity, especially by his purchase of the compositions left by Mozart. His own compositions comprised over 100 pieces of all sorts of music, and at the time of their publication were popular in southern Germany, although they are at present almost forgotten. He wrote a Lehr-buch der Tonkunst (Offenbach, 2 vols., 1832-'43, the last part by his pupil Heinrich Henkel), and published Mozart's diary, and some original pieces of that composer.
