Born in 1730, Anthony (Anton\u00edn) Kammel<\/strong> was the son of an estate forester in Bohemia. His father\u2019s employer, Count Vincent of Waldstein<\/strong>, recognised his musical talent, sent him to study with Tartini<\/strong> in Italy and encouraged him in his musical career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kammel came to Britain in 1765, taking part in the country\u2019s musical life as a violinist and composer. He belonged to the circle around Karl Friedrich Abel<\/strong>and Johann Christian Bach<\/strong>. After his death in 1784 none of his children became musicians because \u2014 as a prudent man \u2014 he wished them to be apprenticed to a trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Kammel\u2019s works remain his legacy, while Sylva \u0160imsov\u00e1\u2019s book is also an interesting picture of musical life in the 18th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
