Christian Friedrich Richter was born the son of Christian Richter (sexton in Chemnitz). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on January 11, 1741; studied there from 1741 to 1748. 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. After his studies, he worked as trainee from 1763 and schoolmaster in Claußnitz from 1774? |
