---
Austro-Hungarian composer. After studying violin and other instruments
as a child, he was in the service of Baron Skrbenský in Hoštálkovy
(c.1762-67) and Count Ignâc Dominik Chronský in Velké Hoštice (1767-77).
After further training in Vienna in 1773, he was music director at
Olomouc Cathedral from 1778 in a position he held the rest of his life.
Apart from his duties in the cathedral, he took part in the musical
academies which Archbishop Colloredo organized in his palace, and he
continued to keep up his musical contacts with his former employer,
Count Chorinský. He composed both secular and sacred music, of which his
instrumental works are in an early Classical style with Rococo traits.
His dramatic works and cantatas are known only through the printed
librettos. Among his works were 7 symphonies (4 for use as graduais), 5
serenades, a Violin Concerto, a Viola Concerto, an harpsichord concerto,
4 partitas for Winds, a Requiem, a Te Deum, and other sacred pieces.
