Johann Hummel (1778-1837)
Bio
Johann Nepomuk Hummel was born in Pressburg, Hungary which is now Bratislava, Slovakia. His father was the director of the Imperial School of Military Music in Vienna and Johann was a prodigy. He was tutored by Mozart as a boy, met and studied with Muzio Clementi and Joseph Haydn in England, and was a co-student with Beethoven. He served in the court of Nikolaus II, Prince Esterházy as Haydn's assistant. He was internationally renowned but lived to see Beethoven and others overshadow his career.
