Christian Friedrich Hoffmann was born the son of Christian Friedrich Hoffmann (excise inspector in Düben, Thomasschule 1715?). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on June 11, 1744; studied there from 1744 to 1752; and at Universität Leipzig from 1751. As a Thomaner he was in Choir III (in the New Church) from May 17, 1744 (Pentecost) to June 6, 1745 (Pentecost). Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S. Bach's tenure, it is not known if he actually studied with him. His younger brother, Paul Gottfried Hoffmann (1732-1749), was also a Thomaner (1746-1749). |
