Bemetzrieder, born in Alsace in 1748, went to Paris, and formed an acquaintance with Diderot, to whose daughter he taught music. Bemetzrieder has written several didactic works on music, published at Paris and in London, in which latter capital he resided several years. Some of his music for the piano-forte was published by Preston.
