Jan Dismas Zelenka lived from 1679 until 1745.. He was a Bohemian composer who played the double bass in the royal orchestra in Dresden. He was despatched for study in Italy, eventually returning to spend the rest of his life in the Saxon capital. It was expected that he would succeed Heinichen as court Kapellmeister, but the position went, instead, to Hasse, and Zelenka remained, now as Church Composer, a position of much less importance. He won the admiration of distinguished contemporaries, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, for his use of counterpoint, his harmonic imagination and originality, and made some use of Bohemian folk elements. Zemlinsky Alexander von Zemlinsky lived from 1871 until 1942. He was encouraged by Brahms and to some extent by Mahler.
