Bohemian composer, oboist, viola da gamba virtuoso, cellist, and
pedagogue. He began his professional career as an oboist in the service
of Countess Netolicka. In 1777, he moved to Munich to serve in the court
orchestra of Elector Maximilian Joseph. That same year in Munich,
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was highly impressed by the wind band Fiala
trained, helping him secure a position in 1778 after the Elector's
death. In 1785, he moved to Vienna, and in 1786, to Saint Petersburg,
where he worked in the court of Catherine the Great. By 1790, he had
relocated to Prussia, serving as a viola da gamba player in the court of
Friedrich Wilhelm II. Finally, in 1792, he became Kapellmeister in
Donaueschingen, where he spent the rest of his life.
