Anton Emil Titl

Titl was born in Nedvědice in Moravia, at that time part of the Austrian Empire; it is the location of Pernštejn Castle, where his father served as burgrave for Count Wilhelm Mitrovský.

At age 17 he moved to Brǜnn (Brno) to continue his training, but preferred to attend music classes of Gottfried Rieger; he also played in the orchestra of the civic theatre in the town.

[1][2][3] He composed an overture to Goethe's play Torquato Tasso, and a symphony, which were well received in Brǜnn and Vienna.

He wrote a mass in 1832 for the enthronement of prince-bishop Ferdinand Maria Chotek von Chotkow [de] at Olmütz, which was performed in Prague and Vienna.

In 1840 he succeeded Heinrich Proch as Kapellmeister at the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna, which was under the management of Franz Pokorny.
