Since the early 18th c., Bohemian and Moravian musicians held leading positions in courts and orchestras all over Europe. Most of them had to find employment abroad, as there was not sufficient at home. This was also the pattern of the life and career of Gyrowetz (original name: Vojtech Jírovec). He travelled much and met and befriended composers such as Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Of these three, it was the style of Haydn to which he adhered.
