Jan Antonín Losy

Czech composer and lute player of Swiss origin. Born around 1650 in Štěkeň near Strakonice, Bohemia, died 22 August 1721 in Prague. Count of Losinthal (German: Johann Anton Losy von Losinthal); also known as Comte d'Logy (Losi or Lozi), was a Bohemian aristocrat, Baroque lute player and composer from Prague. His lute works combine the French style brisé with a more Italian cantabile style. He was probably the most significant lutenist-composer in Bohemia at the height of the lute's popularity there.
