Joseph (Josef) Leopold, Edler von Eybler
(Schwechat, 8 February 1765 - Vienna, 24 July 1846)

Austrian composer. After early musical studies with his father, he enrolled at St. Stephen’s in Vienna where he studied composition with Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. In 1792 Eybler was appointed choir director at the Carmelite church in Vienna, and then in 1794 went in the same capacity to the more famous Schottenkloster, retaining the post for 30 years. In 1801 he was also appointed court music teacher, possibly on the recommendation of Joseph Haydn and his special patroness, the Empress Maria Theresa. In 1824 he was appointed as court Kapellmeister, retaining that position until disabled by a stroke in 1833. In his final years, which he spent with his family, he received numerous honours from foreign academic bodies, and in 1835 was raised to the nobility by the emperor. As a relative of Joseph Haydn and close friend of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, he was a prominent figure in musical circles during the last part of the 18th and first quarter of the 19th century. His music is characterized by bold harmonies and a sense of drama expressed in orchestral color. His works include two operas, 33 Masses (and three Mass movements), 37 graduals, 34 offertories, four antiphons, four oratorios, seven Te Deums, 11 hymns, five other sacred works, 16 Lieder and numerous choral pieces and canons, three symphonies, six sinfonia concertantes, a clarinet concerto, a divertimento, over 100 dances, a sextet, four quintets, nine quartets, and six sonatas. His music is known by HV or Hermann numbers. #ClassicalMusic
