The Order of the Brothers Hospitallers was established in 1534 by the Portuguese Juan Ciudad (St. John of God). The “provincia germanica” of the Order was probably established in 1616; by 1770, it had covered practically the whole of Central Europe. In 1781, it was divided into a Bavarian province and an Austro-Hungarian province by the order of Josef II. The Czechoslovak province originated after World War I; it was abolished by the Nazis in 1941 and by the Communist regime in 1950. The current province resides in Brno. The Order of the Brothers Hospitallers has always been involved primarily in the care of the sick. The hospitals were sponsored largely by their patrons, but some of the money came from gifts, the collection of alms and charitable events organized by noblemen and the bourgeoisie. Hospitals and residences of the Brothers Hospitallers were always the most modern medical institutions. Records of their patients provide informatik on the population, its health, trades and its crafts as well as on the events of the time. A number of the Order members were trained specialists in medicine, pharmacology and botany. Music also represented a significant component of their education and of monastic life as a whole; interest in music, however, never took priority over the members’ monastic duties.

In the early decades of the 19th century, three important music institutions were founded in Prague – the Tonkünstler Wittwen-und-Waisen Societät, the Conservatoire and the Organists College, opened in 1830 by the Verein der Kunstfreunde für Kirchenmusik in Böhmen (the Society for Sacred Music in Bohemia, founded in 1826). The aim of the Society was to awaken an interest among the wider public in sacred music which, at that time, was neglected and in decline. The Organists College offered tuition to members of the Christian churches as well as to Jewish communities. During the one-year course, later extended to two, and subsequently to three years, the organists, and later also choirmasters, acquired a knowledge of harmony, counterpoint, figured bass, improvisation and composition, and also learnt how to perform sacred music. The school was attended by numerous outstanding musicians, from home and abroad, among them Antonín Dvořák and Leoš Janáček; in 1890, it merged with the Prague Conservatoire.

The two hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Don Giovanni premiere, in 1787, and the one hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of the foundation, in 1837, of Prague’s Mozart Denkmal, the first ever Mozart Memorial Collection, housed from then until now in Prague’s Klementinum, offer the opportunity to take a look at Mozart’s standing in the early 19th century in Bohemia – through the eyes of press and writing on music of the time (August Wilhelm Ambros, Wenzel Johann Tomaschek, Joseph Proksch, Ed. Murelli), as well as period arrangements of his works and the ways of their interpretation.
