When in 1670 Bishop Lichtenstein was looking for a new musician for the vacant position of a chamberlain, in a letter to Schmelzer he said that, "Biber, who fled, not only had played the violin, the double bass and the viola da gamba, but he was also capable of composing." An interesting comparison offers itself of Biber's fluent style and the style of his colleague at Kroměříž the trumpeter Pavel Vejvanovský. They may have studied together, appreciated each other for the excellent play of each's particular instrument and inspired each other in the stylisation of their parts. They kept in touch all through their lives and it is due to these contacts that Biber's compositions have been preserved at Kroměříž. Their compositions, which on hearing are often very similar (and for this very reason, modern editions frequently ascribe them to Vejvanovski), mostly differ in the musical grammar of the notation, and in the elaboration of the inner voices and the bass. Technically, the solo violin parts of Biber's compositions belong to the most demanding ever written for this instrument, and the parts that were written for Vejvanovský are "hardly feasible" for the natural trumpet.
