Black Sabbath - Back Street Kids

Selected musicians served in the Lobkowitz Chapel, many of whom were Beethoven's longtime acquaintances. The bandmaster was the violinist and composer Anton Vranitsky (brother of the composer Pavel Vranitsky); in 1800, the composer Anton Cartellieri, a student of Salieri, became vice-conductor. The first cellist was the elderly Anton Kraft, a student of Haydn; next to him was his son Nikolaus, also a famous cellist. At the premiere of the Third Symphony, the part of the first oboe was performed by the famous virtuoso Friedrich Ramm. Nevertheless, Rhys recalled that the first performance was “terrible” and was accompanied by several disruptions.
