Josef (Joseph) Fiala [Fyala, Fiole, Fiale, Viala, Viola]
(Lochovice, 3 February 1748 - Donaueschingen, 31 July 1816)

Bohemian composer, oboist, viola da gamba virtuoso, cellist, and pedagogue. He began his professional career as an oboist in the service of Countess Netolicka. In 1777, he moved to Munich to serve in the court orchestra of Elector Maximilian Joseph. That same year in Munich, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was highly impressed by the wind band Fiala trained, helping him secure a position in 1778 after the Elector's death. In 1785, he moved to Vienna, and in 1786, to Saint Petersburg, where he worked in the court of Catherine the Great. By 1790, he had relocated to Prussia, serving as a viola da gamba player in the court of Friedrich Wilhelm II. Finally, in 1792, he became Kapellmeister in Donaueschingen, where he spent the rest of his life.
