| “Richter, Stamic
and Vaňhal in particular influenced and even inspired Haydn & Mozart who
played Vaňhal’s music and who both played with him in a quartet alongside
Dittersdorf… The Thirty Years War (1618-48) resulted in the Hapsburgs taking
over the kingdom of Bohemia, but it was impossible to suppress the Czech
love for music, a fact then exploited by the Austrian nobles who filled
their new Bohemian estates with musical talent. Once government had been
transferred to Vienna, many Czech musicians moved away from their homeland
to find work around Europe. As one Czech historian put it: ‘almost all the
musical sources which welled up from the soil of Bohemia sped by the
shortest course to join the main stream of the world’s music’… Some went to
Vienna itself: Bárta, Koželuh, Vaňhal and the Vranickýs, but some, including
the Benda family went to Berlin, others to Mannheim (eg Stamic and Richter),
while Rejcha settled in Paris and Mysliveček in Italy.” (Peter Avis 2006) |
