Anton Stamitz (bapt. 27 November 1750 – c. 1798–1809) was a German composer and violinist.

Stamitz was the surname of a family of German Bohemian musicians, the principal members of which were: Johann Stamitz (1717–1757), founder of the Mannheim school; his two sons Carl Stamitz (1745–1801) and Anton Stamitz (1750–c.1800) – adapted from Wikipedia, s.v. “Stamitz”
Anton disappeared from public view around the time of the 1789 Revolution, and a contemporary report suggests that he had been admitted to an asylum for the insane; the exact date of his death remains unknown. – interlude.hk/mapping-musical-genome-stamitz-family/
Not all of the family Stamitz
Were born under promising comets;
Both Johann and Carl were prominent
In making the Mannheim School prominent,
While Anton dissolved into history
In an unexplained musical mystery.
