Wartenberg (Bohemia) - Salzburg
Review
A virtuous violinist born in Bohemia, he was a chapel teacher of the court of the Archbishop of Salzburg and became ennoblished.
He explored the string as no one, which consists of changing the tuning of the strings to get new colors. His Battalia imitates a battle with amazing effects for the time.
