died in Dijon, at his home at 12, rue de la Liberté, at the age of 72. According to the testimony of his contemporaries, Wackenthaler was more appreciated as an instrumentalist and as a teacher rather than as a composer. His organ works were sometimes attributed to his more famous uncle Joseph, because he often published them under the first name Joseph.
