PLEYEL, IGNAZ JOSEPH (17571831)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 840 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PLEYEL, IGNAZ JOSEPH (17571831) , Austrian musician, was born at Ruppersthal, near Vienna, on the 1st of June 1757, the twenty-fourth son of a poor
village
  schoolmaster. He studied the
pianoforte
  under Van Hal (known in England as Vanhall), and in 1772 learned composition from Haydn, who became his dearest friend. He was appointed temporary maitre de chapelle at Strasburg in 1783, receiving a permanent
appointment
  to the
office
  in 1789. In 1791 he paid a successful visit to London. He narrowly escaped the guillotine on returning to Strasburg, and was only saved by the existence of a cantata which he had written, and in which the
inspiration
  could fairly be claimed to be on the side of liberty; so that he was permitted to remain until 1795, when he migrated to Paris. Here he opened a large music shop, published the first
complete
  edition of Haydn's quartets, and founded, in s8o7, the
pianoforte
  manufactory which still bears his name. The latter years of his
life
  were spent in agricultural pursuits. The July revolution of 183o inflicted upon him a severe
shock
 , and on the 14th of November 1831 he died in Paris.
