Reicha Josef

Josef Reicha (1752-1795) was a Bohemian composer, best known as the uncle of another Bohemian composer Antonin Reicha, the teenage friend of Beethoven. Raised in Bohemian town of Chuděnice where he received his initial musical education, he moved to Prague in 1761 to become a choirboy and to study cello.
He received his first appointment as a cellist at the court orchestra of Prince Kraft Ernst von Oettingen-Wallerstein. In 1778 he went on a Grand Tour with the Prince and visited many of the cosmopolitan centers of Europe. Flute concerto is one of the most popular works of Joseph Reicha, representing gallant musical style of that period.
