Hungarian composer. Almost nothing is known about him. He probably work
as a composer in Pressburg (now Bratislava), city where he mostly
published his works. Among them, a Variácie pre kontrabas a orchester
(1830) and intended to be performed by Josef Sebastiany, a famous
double-bass player in Pressburg. He also wrote a Variácie na vlastnú
tému pre klarinet a orchester (1830), five overtures (1826-1829) and the
most valuable, his four symphonies; Symfónia č. 1 D dur (1828),
Symfónia č. 2 F dur (1829), Symfónia č. 3 (n.d.), Symfónia č. 4 C dur
(1829). Regarding the first one, it includes an andantino entitled
'Spagniola' with a bolero, maybe the first bolero ever [Pepe Sánchez
(1856-1918) is considered the father of boleros with "Tristezas",
written in 1883]. The specific motivation for Kaluš's bolero is
completely unknown. Even he is a very unknown composer, at least on
biographic terms, he was very prolific and somehow well represented in
the times he lived.
