---
German clarinettist, basset-horn player and composer. He founded the
German playing style, which put beauty of tone above technique. He was a
child prodigy: at the age of eight he played in the Mannheim orchestra
with his father Jacob Tausch, who taught him. Moving with his father to
Munich, Franz became a notable soloist and made several concert tours.
He was chamber musician to the dowager Queen of Prussia in 1789 and from
1797 to Friedrich Wilhelm III. In 1805 Tausch opened the Conservatorium
der Blasinstrumente in Berlin, where Heinrich Baermann and Crusell were
among his pupils. His compositions are noteworthy, and make
considerable demands on the player. They include a number of clarinet
concertos, six quartets for two basset-horns and two bassoons (with two
horns ad lib), duos for violin and viola and for two clarinets, and
other chamber music for wind. After his death the conservatory continued
under the direction of his son Friedrich Wilhelm Tausch (1790-1845),
himself a fine player.
