Wenzel Kallusch [Kaluš]
(1801 - Pressburg [now Bratislava], 18 April 1831)

Hungarian composer. Almost nothing is known about him. He probably work as a composer in Pressburg (now Bratislava), city where he mostly published his works. Among them, a Variácie pre kontrabas a orchester (1830) and intended to be performed by Josef Sebastiany, a famous double-bass player in Pressburg. He also wrote a Variácie na vlastnú tému pre klarinet a orchester (1830), five overtures (1826-1829) and the most valuable, his four symphonies; Symfónia č. 1 D dur (1828), Symfónia č. 2 F dur (1829), Symfónia č. 3 (n.d.), Symfónia č. 4 C dur (1829). Regarding the first one, it includes an andantino entitled 'Spagniola' with a bolero, maybe the first bolero ever [Pepe Sánchez (1856-1918) is considered the father of boleros with "Tristezas", written in 1883]. The specific motivation for Kaluš's bolero is completely unknown. Even he is a very unknown composer, at least on biographic terms, he was very prolific and somehow well represented in the times he lived. #ClassicalMusic
