Antonio Rosetti
Antonio Rosetti (c1750–1792) was a classical era composer, writing around the same time as Haydn and Mozart.Rosetti was born around 1750 in Litomerice, a town in Northern Bohemia, and was originally called Franz Anton Rösler. He is believed to have received early musical training from the Jesuits. In 1773 Rosetti left this native country and joined the Hofkapelle of Prince von Öttingen-Wallerstein, whom he served for sixteen years, before becoming Kapellmeister to the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1789. In 1777, he married Rosina Neher, with whom he had three daughters. He died only half a year after Mozart on June 30, 1792.
Rosetti wrote a great deal of music, including many symphonies, concertos and vocal music. He is perhaps best known today for his horn concertos and is famous for writing the requiem, now lost, which was played at a memorial for Mozart in December 1791.
