AB A survey in the parish registers of the village Rosice (the district Chrudim) resulted in the findings that Rosice was the birthplace of musician Josef Nágl, and the nearby village Chrast was the birthplace of musician František Jindřich Zvěřina. The parish office was located in Chrast and administered Rosice as well. František Jindřich Zvěřina and Josef Nágl knew each other probably since childhood and, as far as is known, even after having left abroad, they always performed together. They both worked for many years in Wallerstein where they were best men at each other's weddings (Zvěřina married twice). This paper complements the basic biographical data of representatives of Czech music in the 18th century. The findings can be included into music dictionaries and encyclopaedias published both in the Czech Republic and abroad.
