The book deals with the theme of court orchestras in the Bohemia during the Baroque era. The case study documents the orchestra of Count Wenzel Morzin, known for his contact with A. Vivaldi. Several surviving sources concerning ordinary musicians as well as music by the Morzin’s composers enable us to view the Kapelle from different angles. Attention is paid to the personnel constitution of the orchestra, its organisation and position within the aristocratic court. The biographies of A. Möser, F. Jiránek, A. Reichenauer and Ch. G. Postel represent different “model careers” of musicians in aristocratic service. The analysis of selected compositions focuses on mutual relationships between the recipient of the works and the composer, between the instrumental constitution of the Kapelle and the nature of the music, and follows the treatment of Vivaldian compositional patterns by Morzin’s house composers. The book contains catalogues of instrumental works by Reichenauer, Postel and Jiránek.
