Johann Baptist Vanhal (Jan Křtitel Vaňhal) also spelled Waṅhal (the spelling the composer himself and at least one of his publishers used), Wanhal or Wanhall (May 12, 1739–August 20, 1813) was an important classical music composer. He was born in Nechanice, Bohemia, and died in Vienna.
Famous quotes containing the word baptist:
“I am perhaps being a bit facetious but if some of my good Baptist brethren in Georgia had done a little preaching from the pulpit against the K.K.K. in the ‘20s, I would have a little more genuine American respect for their Christianity!”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
