Wessely, Johann (Paul) [Veselý, Jan Pavel](b Frauenberg [now Hluboká], Bohemia, 24 June 1762; d Ballenstedt, 1 June 1810). Bohemian violinist and composer. He studied the violin under his uncle, a Benedictine monk in Prague. From 1797 to 1800 he was first violinist in the count's orchestra in Kassel, and from 1800 was Konzertmeister to the Duke of Anhalt-Bernburg at Ballenstedt. Wessely's best efforts were as a player and composer of chamber music. His string quartets and trios, modelled after Haydn and Ignace Pleyel, were well loved by his contemporaries. He also wrote several concertante orchestral works with solo parts for violin, horn, clarinet and flutes, and composed two comic operas for performance at Ballenstedt about 1800.

BIBLIOGRAPHYČSHS GerberNL MCL KURT STEPHENSON Wessely, Othmar(b Linz, 31 Oct 1922; d Vienna, 20 April 1998). Austrian musicologist. He attended the Bruckner-Konservatorium in Linz and then studied musicology at Vienna University with Schenk, and theory with Joseph Marx at the Vienna Academy (1940–47). He took the doctorate at Vienna in 1947 with a dissertation on Bruckner in Linz. After working briefly as archivist to the Staatsoper (1948) and secretary to the Gesellschaft zur Herausgabe der Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich (1949), he became an assistant lecturer (1950) at Vienna University's musicology institute; he completed his Habilitation at Vienna in 1958 with a work on the life and times of Arnold von Bruck. He was successively a reader at the institute (1959–63), professor of musicology and director of the musicology institute at Graz University (1963–71), professor of musicology and director of the musicology institute at Vienna University (1971–93) and director of the Anton Bruckner-Institut in Linz (from 1982), whose conference reports he regularly edited. Wessely's particular interest was in 14th-century Italian and Renaissance music, particularly where the music of these periods related to the history of art and language. He also concentrated on the history of music in his own region of Upper Austria and on Austrian music as a whole from 1848 to 1918, and represented these interests for a variety of publications (including MGG1 and RISM since 1962). In 1963 he became general editor of the Fux collections, and founded and published the series Die grossen Darstellungen der Musikgeschichte in Barock und Aufklärung. He was made a member (1954) and subsequently president (1974–94) of the Gesellschaft zur Herausgabe der DTÖ. His wife, Helene Wessely, née Kropik (b Vienna, 29 July 1924), also studied musicology with Schenk at Vienna University and took the doctorate there in 1950 with a dissertation on Purcell as an instrumental composer. She has made a particular study of the 17th-century composer Lelio Colista, and has edited some of his works for publication.
