Concertising in Amsterdam and The Hague, he built a solid reputation in Dutch musical circles as a pianistic virtuoso.(벤로 출생. 13세 때 형 칼로스 엠마뉴엘과 음악 공부를 위해 파리-아마 러시아도-에 갔다가 22세이던 1790년에 암스테르담으로 돌아왔다. 암스테르담과 헤이그에서 가진 연주회를 통하여 네델란드 음악계에서 피아니스트 대가로 확고한 명성을 얻었다)

In the following year he was nominated to the position of the orchestra Eruditio Musica. In 1808 Louis Bonaparte appointed him to head the Instituut voor Wetenschappen, Literatuur en Schone Kunsten, precursor of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Academie van Wetenschappen, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.^[3] In 1811 he established, with Johann Wilhelm Wilms and some others the series of Tuesday concerts. He died, aged 77, in Amsterdam.

Anton Fodor published three symphonies (Opp. 5, 12 and 19), eight piano concertos, and a considerable output of chamber music in which the piano plays the leading role, as well as songs on Dutch texts. His opera, Numa Pompilius, has been lost.^[4]
