Jan Křtitel (Johann Baptist) Vanhal [Wanhal, Vanhall, Vannhal, Van Hal et al.]
(Nechanice, 12 May 1739 - Wien, 20 August 1813)

Bohemian composer and cellist. Born into a poor peasant family, he obtained some early education in music from a local organist, Anton Erban. His first post was as an organist at the town of Opocžna, and subsequently he became a choral director at Niemcžoves, during which time he was trained as a string player by Matthias Nowák. In 1769 he moved to Vienna to study under Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf. In turn he established a reputation as a teacher, whose students included Ignaz Pleyel. In 1769 he traveled to Italy, where his first opera, Demofoonte, was performed a year later. He returned to Vienna in 1771 but visited the estates of his patron, Ladislaus Erdödy, in Croatia. Thereafter he continued to publish his music actively as a member of the most important musical circles of the Imperial capital. Vanhal can be considered one of the more prolific and popular composers of the period, with over 1,300 works written. Although Charles Burney claimed that his creativity had diminished due to mental issues (now known to be false), he continued to produce compositions that were disseminated throughout the world, becoming almost as popular as his friend and colleague Joseph Haydn. These include 76 symphonies, around 60 concertos (for violin, flute, viola, oboe, contrabass, keyboard, and other instruments), 100 string quartets, 13 piano quartets, 51 piano trios, 49 other trios, six quintets, 98 duets for various instruments, 102 sonatas/sonatinas for various instruments and keyboard, 196 keyboard sonatas, 68 sets of keyboard variations, 76 miscellaneous keyboard works, 25 divertimentos, 38 organ works, 47 sets or pieces of dance music, three operas, 48 Masses, two Requiems, 46 offertories, 32 motets, 15 antiphons, 34 sacred arias, 32 Stabat maters, 10 litanies, 10 graduals, 17 other sacred works, 17 pieces of programmatic music, and 41 songs. Vanhal’s musical style is often dramatic but carefully constructed according to form and structure. His use of melody is often lyrical, with good sequencing and internal variation. He can be considered one of the main figures in late 18th-century music. His works are known by their Bryan numbers.
