[1] In 1781 Wunderlich joined the Paris Opera as second flautist and quickly rose to principal, which he remained until 1813 when he was succeeded by Jean-Louis Tulou.
From 1795 to 1803 Wunderlich taught at the Conservatory of Paris. He taught many students, including Jean-Louis Tulou, Benoit Tranquille Berbiguier, and Joseph Guillou. He continued teaching until 1816.
In 1804 Wunderlich published a textbook on flute method and technique. It was a completion of a work by his colleague, Antoine Hugot who had since died.
