Graf Anton Logi
*1643
Composer
A.k.a. Johann Anton Graf Losy von Losinthal
Known as Johann Anton Graf Losy von Losinthal, also Logi of Losymthal or Losynthal or Jan Antonín Logy z Lozimtál, was a composer and one of the most famous lutenists of his generation. Born between 1643 and 1645 at Schloss Streken near Strakonitz / Bohemia (today the Czech Republic), he died at Prague September 3, 1721. Logi's father - the ancestors came from Switzerland - was imperial chamberlain and secret council and was elevated to the rank of a count because of his merits as "inspector of the wine tax, and the beer and salt gradient" in Bohemia. His son took over the offices and inherited a large fortune, which enabled him to do extensive travels to Italy and France. Logi was a great admirer of J. B. Lully. He mainly composed lute and guitar works in a dignified melody, initially in the "French style", which he imported to Prague and developed into the so-called "mixed taste" of the "German style".
