Carolus Antonius Fodor
(Venlo, 12 April 1768 - Amsterdam, 22 February 1846)
Dutch composer and pianist, brother of Josephus Andreas Fodor (1751-1828) and Carel Emanuel Fodor (1759-?). Born into a musical family, he studied in Mannheim and Paris before returning to Amsterdam in 1795. In 1798 he married Geertruida Tersteeg. At the death of Bartholomeus Ruloffs in 1801 he was named conductor of the orchestra of Felix Meritis, which he was to lead for twenty-five years. In the following year he was nominated to the position of the orchestra Eruditio Musica. In 1808 Louis Bonaparte appointed him to head the Instituut voor Wetenschappen, Literatuur en Schone Kunsten, precursor of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Academie van Wetenschappen, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1811 he established, with Johann Wilhelm Wilms and some others the series of Tuesday concerts. He became one of the leaders of Dutch musical society, writing works that reflect early 19th century Romantic forms. His music includes several symphonies, eight concertos for fortepiano, an opera, numerous songs in Dutch and a large number of chamber works.
