German-Bohemian violinist and composer, becoming Kapellmeister at
Salzburg, 1684. Prolific composer for violin, his many sonatas include
the 15 Mystéry (or Rosary) sonatas, c. 1678. Also wrote two
operas, a Requiem, chamber music, trumpet concerto, and 'Nightwatchman'
Serenade (for 2 violins, 2 violas, and continuo). His 8 violin sonatas
with continuo (1681) demand a virtuoso's technique. His Battalia is an
early example of programme music.
