Short bio Adalbert Gyrowetz
Full biography Adalbert Gyrowetz
Adalbert Gyrowetz (1763-1850) was a Bohemian composer known for his instrumental works, including string quartets, symphonies, and piano trios. He was a prolific composer, writing around 400 works in total, with 60 of them being symphonies. Gyrowetz received his earliest music lessons from his father , who was a local music master. Later, he studied philosophy and law in Prague , but eventually decided to pursue a career in music.
Gyrowetz was a protégé of Mozart and promoter of Haydn, and had personal acquaintances that included Beethoven, Chopin, Goethe, and even Napoleon. He was also appointed as the court composer for Prince Esterházy in Hungary. Despite his association with these well-known figures, Gyrowetz's music fell out of favor after his death, and is largely forgotten today.
Some of Gyrowetz's notable works include his String Quartet in D Major, Op.13 No.1 and Piano Trio in A Major, Op.12 No.1. He also wrote an opera titled Der Augenarzt (The Oculist), which was based on the life of an eye doctor. Gyrowetz was a multifaceted composer whose music was known for its virtuosic figuration and full textures.
