---


Bohemian composer. Nothing is known about his youth. The first mention was in 1721 as a choirmaster at the St. Mary Magdalene church in Prague. Also there he was documented as musician under the patronage of Count Wenzel Morzin. According to some sources, he also worked for Count Franz Joseph of the House of Czernin. In his last years he was appointed organist at the parish church Jindřichův Hradec, a post he briefly held before his death in 1730. As a composer, he wrote both concertos and sacred music following the trends of italian style. His music was highly praised and can be found in several Bohemian archives.
