Franz (František) Xaver (Thomas) Pokorny [Pokorný, Pockorny]
(Mies [now Střibro], 20 December 1729 - Regensburg, 2 July 1794)

Bohemian composer. It is possible, but cannot be proved, that he was related to other Czech musicians called Pokorny. After studying with Riepel in Regensburg, Pokorny entered the court orchestra of Oettingen-Wallerstein in 1753. In 1754 he studied in Mannheim with Johann Stamitz, Holzbauer and Richter. On returning to Wallerstein he was promised the position of choral director there, but his appointment was never confirmed. A symphony by Pokorny was performed on 13 July 1766 at Dischingen, the summer residence of the Prince of Thurn and Taxis. The composer left the service of the Count Philipp Karl of Oettingen-Wallerstein on 22 March 1770 and at last became a member of the court orchestra of Thurn and Taxis at Regensburg, where, according to payment records, he had already been playing the violin since 1766. Pokorny’s gravestone in Regensburg gives his title as ‘musician of the princely chamber of Taxis’ (Hochfürstlich Taxisscher Kammer-Musicus). Pokorny left a great number of works. The largest group comprises some 140 symphonies, most of them preserved in autograph score. Of these symphonies, 104 have also been attributed to other composers. These misattributions were deliberately made by Theodor von Schacht, director of the court orchestra of Thurn and Taxis, in Regensburg in 1796. Schacht deleted the composer’s name and the place and date of composition on the covers of these works and substituted names of other composers or provided new covers. It has not yet been possible to prove authorship of any of the 104 symphonies by a composer other than Pokorny, which suggests that he did in fact write them all. Most of Pokorny’s symphonies are in four movements. The works from his Oettingen-Wallerstein period are scored for strings, flutes and horns. The horn parts are throughout of a very virtuoso nature. The style of the symphonies is strongly marked by melodies reminiscent of folk music. The symphonies written in Regensburg are scored for a greater variety of instruments and their formal concept is more carefully devised. Pokorny’s son Bonifaz (Franz Xaver Karl) (Wallerstein, 24 Jan 1757 - Scheyern Abbey, 5 Aug 1789) took vows at Scheyern Abbey in 1780 and was ordained priest in 1783. He was one of the monastery’s leading musicians as regens chori, organist and teacher. None of his compositions has survived. Another son, Joseph Franz, born in Regensburg about 1760, is mentioned in Eitner and Mettenleiter as a musician at the court of Thurn and Taxis at Regensburg. However, no mention of him can be found in the records of the Thurn and Taxis court orchestra. The horn virtuoso Beate Pokorny, who was successful at a Concert Spirituel in Paris in 1780, was not Franz Xaver Pokorny’s daughter but his sister. #ClassicalMusic
