APPENDIX D: HAYDN'S BROTHERS

Of the large family born to the Rohrau wheelwright, two, besides the
great composer, devoted themselves to music.

The first, JOHANN EVANGELIST HAYDN, made some little reputation as a
vocalist, and was engaged in that capacity in the Esterhazy Chapel. His
health had, however, been delicate from the first, and his professional
career was far from prosperous.

JOHANN MICHAEL HAYDN was much more distinguished. Born in 1737, he
became, as we have seen, a chorister and solo-vocalist at St Stephen's,
Vienna. He was a good violinist, and played the organ so well that he
was soon able to act as deputy-organist at the cathedral. In 1757 he
was appointed Capellmeister to the Bishop of Grosswardein, and in 1762
became conductor, and subsequently leader and organist to Archbishop
Sigismund of Salzburg. There he naturally came in contact with Mozart,
in whose biography his name is often mentioned. Mozart on one occasion
wrote two compositions for him which the archbishop received as Michael
Haydn's. The Concertmeister was incapacitated by illness at the time,
and Mozart came to his rescue to save his salary, which the archbishop
had characteristically threatened to stop. Mozart also scored several of
his sacred works for practice.

Michael Haydn remained at Salzburg till his death in 1806. He had the
very modest salary of 24 pounds, with board and lodging, which
was afterwards doubled; but although he was more than once offered
preferment elsewhere, he declined to leave his beloved Salzburg. He was
happily married--in 1768--to a daughter of Lipp, the cathedral organist;
and with his church work, his pupils--among whom were Reicha and
Weber--and his compositi
