Born in Lemberg, Franz received flute lessons from his father Joseph Doppler, who was an oboist, and made his debut as a flautist at the age of 13. Franz formed a flute duo with his brother Karl, and they became quite a sensation throughout Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1838, both became members of the orchestra of the German Theater in Budapest. At the age of 18, Franz was already the first flautist at the opera. Three years later, the two brothers moved to the Hungarian National Theater, where five of Franz’s operas were staged with success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFranz and Karl continued to make regular tours of Europe and helped found the Hungarian Philharmonic Orchestra in 1853. In Vienna Court Opera, Franz went on to be the first flautist and stand-in conductor, and eventually chief conductor, as well as acquiring a position of Professor of Flute at the Vienna Conservatoire from 1864–67.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFranz composed chiefly for the flute, such as concertos, showpieces, and many flute duets to be played by him and his brother Karl. His music contains that of Russian and Hungarian aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSame as Franz, Karl was also a composer and a great flautist. Before 1865, he was the musical director at the Theater of Budapest. From 1865-1898, Karl held the position of conductor at the court chapel in Stuttgart. The major works of Karl are operas such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Gránátos tábor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe camp of the grenadiers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), a collection of Hungarian folk songs for dance and choirs, ballet music, as well as pieces for flute.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/interlude.hk\/franz-and-karl-doppler\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/interlude.hk\/franz-and-karl-doppler\/\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/interlude.hk\/franz-and-karl-doppler\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Flutes Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59218140561742,"sku":"BRKMR1963","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5335\/7646\/files\/9790004485675.jpg?v=1774101593","url":"https:\/\/www.allflutesplus.com\/products\/franz-und-karl-doppler-souvenir-de-prague-2-flutes-and-piano-op-24-breitkopf-amp-hartel","provider":"All Flutes Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
