Franz Krommer, born František Kramář in the Moravian town of Kamenice in 1759, was a celebrated Czech composer and violinist who made a significant mark on the classical music scene in 19th-century Vienna. Known for his prolific output and exceptional skill, Krommer was one of the most popular composers of his time, often mentioned alongside the likes of Beethoven. His string quartets, in particular, were highly esteemed, earning him a reputation as a strong rival to Beethoven in the early 19th century.
