Karel (Carl, Karl, Carolus) (Ignatius Augustinus) Kohaut [Kohault, Kohout]
(Vienna, bap. 26 August 1726 - Vienna, 6 August 1784)

Austrian lutenist and composer. Son of Jakob Karl Kohaut (c.1678-1762), a court musician to Prince Adam von Schwarzenberg, he received music lessons from his father. In 1756 he entered the civil service, rising to the rank of court secretary in 1778. As a titular member of the court, he had access to and participated in much of the Viennese musical life of the period. He participated as a violinist in performances of quartets by Haydn and Mozart organized by Gottfried van Swieten. As a lutenist, he appeared as soloist in a performance of one of his own lute concertos at an academy of the Tonkünstler-Societät on 17 March 1777, during which one of his symphonies was also performed. Like his colleague Karl von Ordonez, he composed frequently in a style that reflects Georg Christoph Wagenseil. As a composer, his output include a cantata, 12 symphonies, eight Masses (frequently performed at the monasteries of Melk and Göttweig, especially the Missa Sancti Willibaldi), seven lute concertos, seven partitas, a quartet, seven divertimentos (many with lute), and seven trios. His brother Josef Kohaut (1738-1777) was also a lutenist and composer, mainly active in France.
