Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber

Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber (bapt. 12 August 1644, Stráž pod Ralskem – 3 May 1704, Salzburg)[1] was a Bohemian-Austrian composer and violinist.

Biber worked in Graz and Kroměříž before he illegally left his employer, Prince-Bishop Karl Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn, and settled in Salzburg.[1] He remained there for the rest of his life, publishing much of his music but apparently seldom, if ever, giving concert tours.
