Georg Kopprasch

Georg Kopprasch (c. 1800 – c. 1850) was a German composer and horn player primarily known for his second set of sixty horn studies (op. 6).

From a musical family, Kopprasch was the son of composer Wilhelm Kopprasch (c. 1750 – c. 1832) who was also a bassoonist in the orchestra of the Prince of Dessau. Georg Kopprasch was a member of the Prussian Regiment band and by 1822 played second horn in the Royal Theater in Berlin. By 1832 Kopprasch had returned to Dessau and played second horn in the court orchestra, where he likely spent the remainder of his career.
