---
Augustinian friar, keyboardist, and composer. Few details of his life
are known. Associated with the Augustinian Monastery in Prague’s Lesser
Town (Malá Strana), he gained recognition as harpsichordist whose works,
characterized by a progressive style featuring virtuosic flourishes,
were preserved in contemporary manuscript copies alongside those of
notable figures like Antonín Reichenauer. Between approximately 1734 and
1737, he served the noble Morzin family, likely as a domestic tutor for
either Václav Morzin or his son Karl Josef. His tenure at the Morzin
court concluded around the time of Václav’s death in 1737.
