Life

Frantisek Krommer received organ and violin lessons from his uncle Anton Matthias Krommer ( Antonín Mátyás Kramář ) in Turany at Brno. In 1785 he continued his studies in Vienna. Then he entered Hungary in the service of Count Styrum to Szimontorony. From 1790 to 1795 he was choirmaster at the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul of Pécs. Then Krommer was then bandmaster of the regiment Károlyi and the Prince Grassalkowitsch. Since not filled him the work in Hungary, he returned in 1810 returned to Vienna and worked here as a musician (violin and wind instruments ), composer and music educator as well as a ballet conductor at the Vienna Court Theatre.

After the death of Leopold Koželuh, the successor to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in 1818 Krommer was appointed to the Imperial court composer and Kapellmeister at the Austrian imperial. He accompanied Emperor Francis I of Austria on his travels through Italy and France. For his successful efforts Krommer received numerous awards. He was, among other honorary member of the Conservatory of Milan and at the suggestion of Antonin Rejcha of the Paris Conservatoire.

During his stay in Vienna and abroad, his name eventually changed by the Czech Kramář about Kramarz to Krommer.

Krommer left more than three hundred works, including over one hundred string quartets ( most of which were intended for the non-public house music), thirteen string trios and thirty quintets, violin, oboe and clarinet concertos, works for harmony music, seven symphonies, brass suites, trade shows and other sacred works. Stylistically Krommer saw himself in the tradition of Mozart and Haydn, but also infuses Hungarian elements in some compositions.
