Although Anton Wranitzky (1761–1820) may not be a household name to listeners today, this skilled composer was one of the central figures of Viennese musical life at the turn of the 18th century. Like his teacher Haydn, he was a recipient of Prince Franz Joseph Maximilian Lobkowitz’s patronage and support. As Kapellmeister and composer for the prince’s court ensemble, Wranitzky was at the forefront of Vienna’s musical culture, and it was in this position that he led the first private performances of Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ and ‘Pastoral’ symphonies, among others. Later in his career he became orchestral director of the main theatres in Vienna, although the patronage that he had relied on dwindled later in his career, as Lobkowitz and other supporters experienced financial difficulties.
