Father-and-Son Composers the Grohs: Prominent Figures in the Musical Life of the Spa Town of Teplice in the Second Half of the 19th Century. Images from the Life of a Bygone Society
SUMMARY: This study aims to present new information about the lives and works of Josef Groh the Elder (1815–1881) and his son Josef Groh the Younger (1844–1894), two choir masters at the Dean's Church of St. John the Baptist in Teplice during the second half of the 19th century. This work contributes new insights into the musical life in Teplice during that period, based on contemporary sources. For the first time, this work comprehensively addresses the lives and compositional legacy of the two musical figures of the Groh family, transcending the bounds of regional significance.
