In the history of music, Jan Václav Voříšek is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Jan Václav Voříšek as Czech music educator, composer, pianist and organist (1791–1825).
Jan Václav Voříšek was born at Vamberk in 1791. His recorded nationality is Austria.
The concert hall and the public audience were new in this period; music was beginning to be written for buyers rather than employers.
He worked as composer, conductor and pedagogue.
The instruments recorded are organ and piano.
His work is classed as symphony.
Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.
That the work came out of Austria shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Jan Václav Voříšek died in 1825, aged 34. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
