about
Jakub Josef Krimer was the most distinguished of the Dačice musicians in the second half of the 18th century. He hailed from the nearby village of Blížkovice, yet, unfortunately, we do not know any details about his life. According to the preserved reminiscences of his son Wenzel, Krimer was an organist and teacher of the second class at the “trivial” – today, we would say “primary” – school. Preserved from his time in Dačice has been quite an extensive manuscript collection of church compositions, some of which employ numerous instruments. Some of these pieces are maintained at the Dačice parish office, some at the Czech Museum of Music in Prague.
