About Johann Baptist Streicher

  • Johann Baptist Streicher (3 January 1796 in Vienna – 28 March 1871 in Vienna) was an Austrian piano maker.
  • Streicher learned the craft from his parents, Nannette and Andreas Streicher, who ran a successful piano-making business.
  • He became a partner in the business in 1823 and, after the death of his parents, was the sole owner of the company.
  • Among his pupils was the German piano maker Johann Bernhard Klems.
  • Streicher's son Emil sold the family business in 1896 to the brothers Stingl, because grandson Theodor had aspirations as a composer and no interest in continuing the franchise.
