Bohuslav Matěj Černohorský

Bohuslav Matěj Černohorský (Christened 16 February 1684, Nymburk, Bohemia – 1 July 1742, Graz, Austria) was a Czech composer, organist and teacher of the baroque era.

Because he left without consent of his superiors he was expelled from Czech lands for ten years.

Among the important pupils are Christoph Willibald Gluck, Josef Seger, František Tůma and others.

In 1731 he came to Italy again, and worked as an organist at Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua.

He deeply influenced the musical evolution in Czechia as a composer, as well as a teacher.
