---
Dutch composer and pianist, brother of Josephus Andreas Fodor
(1751-1828) and Carel Emanuel Fodor (1759-?). Born into a musical
family, he studied in Mannheim and Paris before returning to Amsterdam
in 1795. In 1798 he married Geertruida Tersteeg. At the death of
Bartholomeus Ruloffs in 1801 he was named conductor of the orchestra of
Felix Meritis, which he was to lead for twenty-five years. In the
following year he was nominated to the position of the orchestra
Eruditio Musica. In 1808 Louis Bonaparte appointed him to head the
Instituut voor Wetenschappen, Literatuur en Schone Kunsten, precursor of
the Koninklijke Nederlandse Academie van Wetenschappen, the Royal
Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1811 he established, with
Johann Wilhelm Wilms and some others the series of Tuesday concerts. He
became one of the leaders of Dutch musical society, writing works that
reflect early 19th century Romantic forms. His music includes several
symphonies, eight concertos for fortepiano, an opera, numerous songs in
Dutch and a large number of chamber works.
