Christoph Schimke [Schimpke]
(Tetschen, c.1725 - Javorník, 1789)

Bohemian composer. Born in Tetschen (now Děčín), almost nothing is known about his life. He was a bassoon virtuoso but overshadowed by Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf, composer and musician of the Johannisberg (now Jánský) Castle orchestra. They both spent about twenty years there (Schimke until his death) and both played managerial roles in the orchestra. As a composer, he wrote eleven symphonies, around twenty concertos (including five for viola and four for bassoon) and numerous pieces of chamber music (mainly for wind instruments). Although Schimpke's compositions were highly praised during his lifetime, just recently are receiving some attention. #ClassicalMusic
