Bohemian composer. Born in Tetschen (now Děčín), almost nothing is known
about his life. He was a bassoon virtuoso but overshadowed by Karl
Ditters von Dittersdorf, composer and musician of the Johannisberg (now
Jánský) Castle orchestra. They both spent about twenty years there
(Schimke until his death) and both played managerial roles in the
orchestra. As a composer, he wrote eleven symphonies, around twenty
concertos (including five for viola and four for bassoon) and numerous
pieces of chamber music (mainly for wind instruments). Although
Schimpke's compositions were highly praised during his lifetime, just
recently are receiving some attention.
