He was born in Dresden and it’s uncertain if he was related with the Gresner family of wind instrument makers and musicians established there. Almost nothing is known about his youth until he was appointed as a member (first oboist and later flautist) of the Royal Court Orchestra in Stockholm, a post he held the rest of his short life. As a composer, his output came to light in the 1780’s and 1790’s and were intended for various performers, among those his colleagues in the court orchestra. He was very appreciated and some of his works were published by Hummel printers in Amsterdam. Among his compositions, most of them lost, he wrote 4 ballets (Mölnarebalett, Pantomime för herr Marcadet, Slädpartiet, incidental ballet music in Vogler’s Gustaf Adolf och Ebba Brahe), orchestral works (4 sinfonias, 1 overture, 2 solo concertos, 2 arias with orchestra (Ah se t’adoro, Med din sång du redan funnit seger i min ömma själ), chamber music (trios, duets), works for wind ensemble (14 partitas, 2 arrangements) and piano pieces.
