Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber

Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (correctly Biber von Bibern ; bapt. 12 August 1644 – 3 May 1704) was a Czech-Austrian composer and violinist of the middle Baroque era. Biber worked in Graz and Kroměříž before he illegally left his employer, Prince-Bishop Karl Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn , and settled in Salzburg . He remained there for the rest of his life, publishing much of his music but apparently seldom, if ever, giving concert tours.
