Franz (Wilhelm) Tausch
(Heidelberg, 26 December 1762 - Berlin, 9 February 1817)
German clarinettist, basset-horn player and composer. He founded the German playing style, which put beauty of tone above technique. He was a child prodigy: at the age of eight he played in the Mannheim orchestra with his father Jacob Tausch, who taught him. Moving with his father to Munich, Franz became a notable soloist and made several concert tours. He was chamber musician to the dowager Queen of Prussia in 1789 and from 1797 to Friedrich Wilhelm III. In 1805 Tausch opened the Conservatorium der Blasinstrumente in Berlin, where Heinrich Baermann and Crusell were among his pupils. His compositions are noteworthy, and make considerable demands on the player. They include a number of clarinet concertos, six quartets for two basset-horns and two bassoons (with two horns ad lib), duos for violin and viola and for two clarinets, and other chamber music for wind. After his death the conservatory continued under the direction of his son Friedrich Wilhelm Tausch (1790-1845), himself a fine player. #ClassicalMusic
