Bohemian composer, teacher, bandmaster and Regenschori. He was born into
a family of musicians who moved from Bohemia to Banat. The foremost of
them were Vinzenz Maschek (1755-1831) and Pavel Maschek (1761-1826) who
achieved great success in Vienna with ballets and Singspiele. Vinzenz
Maschek was active in Bela Crkva (Romania) but almost nothing is known
about his career. Only a post is documented as singing teacher and
organist at the Israelite synagogue in Temesvàr. As a composer, he
mainly wrote sacred music which includes masses, offertories, graduals,
hymns and the waltz "Carnevall's Memories" composed for "entire
orchestra" and "dedicated to Kapellmeister Johann Strauss with respect".
