MISLIWEC'ZEK (Jofeph), fon of a miller in Bohemia, 
not far from Prague, a twin, born in 1737. The brothers 
refembled each other fo much, that their father was fre¬ 
quently uncertain to which of them he was fpeaking. 
They were both brought up to the father’s trade ; but 
jofeph, in learning muiic at the common reading and 
writing fchool, as all Bohemian children do, difcovered 
uncommon genius and love for the art. And his father 
was fcarcely dead before he quitted the miller’s trade, and 
went to Prague, where he ftudied mufic with fuch fuccefs, 
that he fhortly compofed fix fymphonies, one each month, 
from January to June. In 1763, he went to Venice, 
where he had leflons from Pifcette ; and afterwards to 
Parma, where he compofed his firft opera, which fucceed- 
ed fo much as to procure him a call to Naples, where the 
opera of Belerofonte fo eftablifhed his reputation in Italy, 
that in the next ten years he brought nine operas on the 
ftage; among which, Olimpiade, in 1778, was particu¬ 
larly admired,' efpecially the air, Si circa fi dice. Soon 
after the performance of Belerofonte, he went to Venice 
as a mafter, where he had been before only a fcholar, and 
now was as well received as elfewhere. Then he removed 
to Pavia, and thence to Munich in 1779, and returned to 
Naples a fecond time. About 1780, Fortune turned her 
back upon him: the opera of Armida, which he fet for 
Milan, was performed but once, in which almoft every 
thing, except a bravura air for Marchefi, was hilled. 
Thence he went to Rome, where he had been unfortunate 
before, and where lie met with new dilgrace in 1781 ; in 
which city, after compofing for different theatres of Italy 
thirty operas, befides oratorios, and inftrumental mufic of 
all kinds, he died, in 1782, in mortification and indigent 
circumflances. Burney.
