Short bio Josef Fiala
Full biography Josef Fiala
Josef Fiala (1748-1816) was a Bohemian composer, cellist, and viola da gamba player. He was born in Lochovice, Bohemia, and later studied at the Jesuit Gymnasium in Prague. After completing his studies, he served as a court musician for various aristocratic families in Bohemia and Moravia.
Fiala was a prolific composer, known for his work in many genres, including symphonies, concertos, chamber music, and operas. He was highly regarded in his time, and was praised by his contemporaries such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Despite his prolific output, Fiala's music has not remained as popular as other composers of his time. However, in recent years, some of his works, such as his Duo Concertante for Oboe and Bassoon, have been experiencing a revival and gaining more recognition.
In addition to his music, Fiala was also known for his skill as a cellist and viola da gamba player. He was said to have been a close friend of Mozart, and the two reportedly performed together on occasion.
Overall, Josef Fiala was an important figure in the musical world of the late 18th century. Despite his music not being as well-known today as that of some of his contemporaries, his skill as a composer and instrumentalist cannot be denied.
