was born in Bamberg in 1763. In his youth he received singing lessons from Fracasini and viola lessons from Bäuerle, both in Bamberg. He later expanded his repertoire to include playing the horn with one of the leading horn virtuosos of his time, Jan Vaclav Stich, better known as Giovanni Punto. From 1780 he probably accompanied Punto as a pianist on his travels through Europe.
In 1789, Amon took a position as music director in Heilbronn, where he was also active as a publisher. In 1817 he was employed as a bandmaster at the court of Wallerstein. He died there in 1825.
1st Quintet op. 110 & 2nd Quintet op.118 for obbligato flute and horn, violin, viola and cello (double bass ad lib.)
The special appeal of these two quintets lies in their unusual line-up with obbligato horn and flute. It can be assumed that they are related to the three quintets by Punto, Fiorillo and Rosetti, which were also published by this publisher under ROM 044 - 046.
