about
Adalbert Gyrowetz (born Vojtěch Matyáš Jírovec) (February 20, 1763 in České Budějovice (Budweis) – March 19, 1850 in Vienna) was a Bohemian composer. Biography His father was the choirmaster in Budweis' cathedral, and Adalbert first studied with him. Adalbert then travelled to Prague, where he studied law but continued to learn music. At around this time he was in the employment of Count Franz von Fünfkirchen in Brno, whose employees were all musicians. Here he started composing, among other things, symphonies, of which he was eventually to write over 60. In 1785 he moved to Vienna, where he met and befriended Mozart, who is also known to have admired his music professionally[citation needed]. From 1786 to around 1793, he travelled throughout Europe. He spent some time in Paris, where he established that some symphonies that had been performed as the work of Joseph Haydn were in fact his work[citation needed]. He spent three years in Italy, meeting Goethe in Rome and studying with Sala in Naples. In 1791, he met Haydn, whom he idolized, in London. While in London, Johann Peter Salomon commissioned symphonies from Gyrowetz to be performed at his Hanover Square Room Concerts. He was a prolific composer. His operas and singspiele numbered over 30. They include "Semiramide"(1791), "Der Augenarzt" (1811), and "Robert, oder Die Prüfung" (a favourite of Beethoven's). Selected works 30 operas Over 60 symphonies, including: Symphony in E-flat major, Op. 6, No. 2 Symphony in F
