There he took lessons from Gottfried Rieger . First at the theater, he was choir director from 1839. Here he began to compose. From Easter 1843 he went to the Estates Theater in Prague for a year .

After that he was again Kapellmeister at the City Theater in Brno. From 1847 onwards, his physical constitution became weaker and weaker. According to contemporary sources, an incurable tracheotomy was diagnosed. He died in Brno on January 9, 1848 while preparing his vaudeville opera Udolph's Secret .
