Felix Benda

Felix Benda (25 February 1708 – 1768) was a Bohemian composer and organist. He was not a member of the Benda musical family.[1][2][3]

Benda was born in Skalsko.[4][5] He was a student of Bohuslav Matěj Černohorský. In 1726 he became an organist at the Michaelskirche in Prague[6][7][8] (succeeding Šimon Brixi). His works, not published during his lifetime,[9] demonstrate his profound knowledge in counterpoint.[10][11] They include a requiem mass[12] organ masses, two oratorios, and other church music

Benda's students included Josef Mysliveček and Josef Seger.

He died in Prague.[13]
