Georg Matthias Monn was an Austrian composer, organist, and music teacher known for his contributions to the transition from the Baroque to Classical period in music. He was a key figure in the Viennese Pre-Classical movement, alongside Georg Christoph Wagenseil and Josef Starzer. Monn’s innovative use of the secondary theme in the symphony had a significant impact on the development of music, influencing composers of the First Viennese School, such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, who followed in his footsteps.
