Friedrich Wilhelm Markull (b. 11 February 1816 Elbing, d. 30 April 1887) was a principal organist at Danzig and conductor of the city’s Gesangverein. He was also well renowned as a pianist. He composed operas, oratorios and two symphonies, and many works for the organ, while also contributing musical articles to the local Danzig journals.
F. W. Markull is not well know these days and no music of his remains in the current day repertoire, but he appears to have been a respected and industrious composer in his time. According to Christopher Fifield in his book “The German Symphony between Beethoven and Brahms“, this symphony was performed in 1854 in Danzig.
