MATJAŽ BARBO<br />
FRANTIŠEK JOSEF BENEDIKT DUSÍK<br />
The Biography of an Eighteenth-Century Composer<br />
HOLLITZER<br />
The book discusses the life of the Czech<br />
composer František Josef Benedikt Dusík.<br />
Dusík was born into a musical family in<br />
Cáslav (Bohemia, today Czech Republic).<br />
After studying in Prague he went to<br />
northern Italy. In the last decade of the<br />
18th century he stayed in Ljubljana where<br />
he became one of the most important<br />
musical figures. He appeared as a musician<br />
in several famous Italian musical<br />
theatres of that time. In Ljubljana he regularly<br />
appeared in musical theatre, he was<br />
employed as an organist and regens chori<br />
in the cathedral and played a leading role<br />
in the Philharm onic Society. He wrote<br />
operas, church compositions, instrumental<br />
pieces, and foremost, symphonies,<br />
which represent the first Slovene works of<br />
that genre. The biography introduces<br />
readers to an almost forgotten musician,<br />
whose fortune led him to be a bandmaster<br />
of various Austrian infantry regiments,<br />
and at almost the same time a composer<br />
who praised Napoleon.<br />
