Tůma - Sinfonia a Quattro in B Flat Major

[Malloyism]

too classical for Tuma. He was on the verge of the baroque/classical changeover in styles.

František Ignác Antonín Tůma (Kostelec nad Orlicí, Bohemia, October 2, 1704 – Vienna, January 30, 1774) was an important Czech composer of the Baroque era. Born in Kostelec nad Orlici, Bohemia, he lived the greater part of his life in Vienna, first as director of music for Count Franz Ferdinand Kinsky, later filling a similar office for the widow of Emperor Karl VI. He was an important late-baroque composer, organist, gambist and theorbist.

How perfectly beautiful!!! Love this! Thanks so much!

[peymaania]

Thank you very much; I was wondering if there were any Polish composers of the Baroque and 18th century? I ask this, because I'm ignorant about this subject. I know historically that Poland was partitioned by Austria, Prussia, and Russia...but I'm sure there were a few composers from that era

(1648-1795); Thank you for all that you do.

[zaskvara]

Tůma, polish composer? He wa czech, and it is not the same.

[jonathantosio]

Amazing music. Thanks, Harmonico! I had never heard of this guy before...

[egapnala65]

Have you anything by his teacher Cernohorsky, an even more unfairly neglected figure?

[HARMONICO101]

No, but I'll keep that name in mind when I go to the CD shop next time.

[egapnala65]

Supraphon released a fair amount on vinyl years ago. Top rate stuff.

Am amazed to find nothing by him on here at all. It was in looking for him that I found your excellent Tuma videos.

[Chuxite]

Wonderfull ! Thank you for posting another Tuma piece to your channel. It's such a shame that this quality composer is so underknown.

[guerino07]

I know they come from different centuries but I can't help but fellow this composer with Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber in compositional style

[random331]

very nice

[EagleWarri0r]

So Mozart and Hayden were inspired by Tüma?

[HARMONICO101]

Perhaps. All I know is that he was fairly well known in his time, and that Mozart and Haydn were aware of his music.

[whomakemefeel]

Do I understand that that Tüma is inspired Mozart and Haydn?

Because whom inspired Mozart are Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach!! But perhaps inspired Hayden!

[HARMONICO101]

Oi, people, please read what I write! "Tůma's music belongs stylistically to the late Baroque. His sacred works, which were known to Haydn and Mozart, were noted by his contemporaries for their solidity of texture and their sensitive treatment of the text as well as for their chromaticism."

They were aware of Tuma's works, whether they were inspired by them, I don't know.

[bitesh]

and of course each composer is only allowed one source of inspiration... I mean that is the rule, right?
