František Kočvara : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frantisek Kotzwara František Kočvara, known later in England as Frantisek Kotzwara (1730 – September 2, 1791), was a Czech violist, virtuoso double bassist and composer. He is perhaps more famous for the notorious nature of his death. ==Life and music== Kotzwara was born in Prague, Bohemia and was something of a nomad. He travelled around Europe and performed with various orchestras. His mature career was based in England, where his compositions were published from 1775 onwards. These include string quartets, serenades and string trios. In London he played in the Concerts of Antient Music, in the Handel Commemoration of 1791 and in the orchestra of the King's Theatre. The only piece of his to have achieved renown is ''The Battle of Prague'', a composition based on the 1757 Battle of Prague, in which the Kingdom of Prussia fought the Habsburg Monarchy. ''The Battle of Prague'' was a popular piece of music during the late 18th and 19th centuries, with Mark Twain mentioning the piece in his books ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' and ''A Tramp Abroad''. A similar piece, ''The Siege of Quebec'', often attributed to Kotzwara, is probably an arrangement by de Krift using assorted materials of Kotzwara.
