== As composer == Sechter was also a composer, and in that capacity he is mostly remembered for writing about 5,000 fugues (he tried to write at least one fugue every day), but he also wrote masses and oratorios. In addition he wrote five [[operas]]: ''Das Testament des Magiers'' (1842), ''Ezzeline, die unglückliche Gegangene aus Deli-Katesse'' (1843), ''Ali Hitsch-Hatsch'' (1844), ''Melusine'' (1851), and ''Des Müllers Ring'' (?).<ref name=OperaGlass>{{cite web|last=OperaGlass|title=Simon Sechter|url=http://opera.stanford.edu/composers/S.html|work=Opera Composers: S|publisher=Stanford.edu|accessdate=22 February 2012}}</ref> In 1823–24, he was one of the 51 composers who composed a variation on a waltz by [[Anton Diabelli]] for ''[[Vaterländischer Künstlerverein]].''
