Composers of the Benda family
Czech composers
Violinists

All these composers are related to Jan Jiři [Johann Georg] Benda (1686–1757) and Dorota Brixi, whose son Jiři Benda is probably the most famous of the family. There were — and still are, such as the ensemble “The Benda Musicians”, which recorded works of all three on “Music of the Benda Family” — many musical relatives and offspring, including various minor composers.

Composers that were born in the Czech Republic, or gained the Czech nationality.

Composers who also play the violin and as such performed their own or other composer's compositions.
