Moravian composer and teacher. Almost nothing is known about his life.
He was mainly active as a regens chori, teacher and composer in his
hometown. In 1819 he was appointed as choirmaster in the Košice
Cathedral in a post he held the rest of his life. He was also documented
as music critic to the 'Allgmeine musikalische Zeitung' in Leipzig and
Vienna. As a composer, he mainly focused on sacred music, among them, a
collection of ten masses from 1812 and a set of Vespers.
