Kalliwoda was unknown to me until Tom brought along a CD of his 5th and 7th Symphonies to one of our music sessions. We were all astonished by the movement from the 5th which he played, and found it hard to believe that we'd been unaware of this fine composer until then. I went on to investigate further, and have continued to be impressed.

He was born in Prague in 1801. After four years at the newly-founded Prague Conservatory he became a member of the Prague Theatre Orchestra before embarking on a career as a touring violinist in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany. Finally, for almost forty years (from 1822 until his retirement in 1865) he was Kapellmeister at the Court in Donaueschingen in Germany. He has over 450 scores to his credit of which 244 were published with opus numbers. He wrote in a wide variety of genres that included two operas; ten masses; seven symphonies and 16 or 18 overtures. His reputation as a composer gradually spread, and his New Overture in D was played at the founding and first concert of the New York Philharmonic, then known as the ‘Philharmonic Society’ of New York, held at the Apollo Rooms in Lower Broadway on 7th December 1842.

The third String Quartet is one of three which were commissioned by publisher Carl Gotthelf Böhme of Peters in Leipzig. They were composed circa 1835-38 contemporaneous with quartets from Cherubini, Spohr and Mendelssohn. At this time Mozart had completed his quartets some forty years previously; Haydn’s quartets thirty years before and those of Beethoven less than a decade earlier. Kalliwoda may well have known these works. String Quartet No. 3 was published in 1838 bearing a dedication to Peter Josef von Lindpaintner, a composer and maître de chapelle at the Stuttgart court. Bold and vigorous themes dominate this helter-skelter and ebullient closing movement where the melodies vary from the gypsy-like to the martial. A special feature in this movement is Kalliwoda’s occasional use of harmonics.

Jan Křtitel Václav Kalivoda (Johann Baptist Wenzel Kalliwoda in German) (February 21, 1801 – December 3, 1866), was a composer, conductor and violinist of Bohemian birth.

Kalivoda was born in Prague in 1801 and as early as 1811 started studying violin and composition at the Prague Conservatory. He made his debut as a violinist at the age of 14. Upon completion of his studies he became a member of the Prague Opera Orchestra. His diploma from the Conservatory read "Excellent player solo or in an orchestra...shows great talent in composition." More prosperous tours as a violinist, for instance to Linz and Munich, followed.[edit]Life

Kalivoda lived what appears to have been a stable, hardworking musical life. For over forty years, from 1822 to 1865, he held the post of conductor on the court of Prince Karl Egon II of Fürstenbergand his successor in Donaueschingen (where the Danube begins in the Black Forest). His duties there included not only the writing of and care for the music of the court and church, of music for the church, but also the management and conducting of a choir, and annual musical journeys for education. These manifold responsibilities may have foreshortened his life. In any case, he went into retirement in 1865, and a year later he died, of a heart attack in Karlsruhe.

His son Wilhelm Kalliwoda (1827–1893) continued his father's career, and worked as Kapellmeister for the Baden court in Karlsruhe, also composing (an Impromptu for piano was published as his opus 3 in Leipzig in 1854 ). During the 1850s he is mentioned by Alan Walker as a conductor at the Lower Rhenish Music Festival.
