Bohemian composer. His parents were servants of the Counts of Morzin. He
also started to work for them as a musician. In 1724 Count Václav
Morzin sent him to Venice in order to improve his musical skills. His
teacher there was probably Antonio Vivaldi since the Count Václav Morzin
was financially supporting Vivaldi (the famous Four Seasons concertos
were dedicated to him). In 1726 he came back to Prague where he worked
as a violinist in the Prague ensemble of Václav Morzin. After the death
of his patron in 1737 he left Prague and settled in Dresden, where he
was employed by Heinrich von Brühl. After the death of Heinrich Brühl in
1763 he remained in Dresden the rest of his life. As a composer, he
wrote instrumental music (sonatas, concertos and symphonies) all of them
strongly influenced by Vivaldi's musical style.
