Arnold, Johann Gottfried, a good composer and violoncellist, was born in 1773. He lived chiefly at Frankfort on the Maine, where he died in 1806, in his thirty-fourth year. He published six concertos for the violoncello, which are .used as exercises by the pupils of the Conservatory at Offenbach and Bonn; he also composed much other music for his instrument, which is chiefly printed.
