Georg Forster (ca. 1510 – 12 November 1568) was a German editor, composer and physician. Forster was born at Amberg, in the Upper Palatinate. While a chorister at Elector Ludwig V’s court in Heidelberg around 1521, he was a colleague of Caspar Othmayr who would also become a composer of renown. Forster received his first instruction in composition from the Kapellmeister Lorenz Lemlin. He died at Nuremberg. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Georg+Forster">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes
- “It is very natural to overlook that which is near home, and as it were within our reach, especially when the mind looks forward, on discoveries which it reckons more important, in proportion as they are more remote.”
- “[...] each vulgar opinion, proved to be erroneous, is an approximation to truth [...].”
- “It is the natural fault of young people to think too well of mankind [...].”
- “A man wholly destitute of philanthropy is a monster, justly detested by all mankind; but another, entirely incapable of anger, is a sheepish wretch, liable to be insulted by every mean-spirited villain.”
