Johann Nepomuk Hummel was born in Pozsony (for three centuries, from 1536, the capital of Hungary; later, under Austrian rule, Pressburg; now Bratislava, capital of the Slovak Republic) on 14 November 1778, and died in Weimar on 17 October 1837. A child prodigy, he could read music when he was four, play the violin when he was five, and the piano when he was six. In 1785 his father Johannes was appointed music director at the Freyhaustheater auf der Wieden in Vienna and took his family with him to the Imperial capital. Soon after this young Johann Nepomuk was introduced to Mozart (possibly by the latter’s friend and pupil Franz Jacob Freystädtler), and not only became his pupil, but also a lodger in his household, probably in 1786–88, during which time, Johannes later wrote, Mozart looked after him like a father and his wife Constanze ‘cared for him like a mother’. In December 1788 Johannes and Johann Nepomuk set off on a concert tour which lasted four years and took them to: Prague, Dresden, Berlin, Magdeburg, Göttingen, Hamburg and several other cities in northern Germany; Copenhagen; Edinburgh, Durham, Cambridge and London (where they stayed for two years); The Hague and Amsterdam; Cologne, Bonn, Mainz, Frankfurt am Main and Linz. Johann Nepomuk spent the next ten years in Vienna, completing his studies, with Albrechtsberger, Salieri and Haydn, who, in 1804, secured for him the post of Konzertmeister to his own employer, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, at Eisenstadt, some thirty miles south-east of Vienna. He returned to Vienna in 1811 and two years later married Elisabeth Röckel, a well-known singer, by whom he had two sons, Eduard, a pianist, and Karl, a painter. In 1816 he was appointed Kapellmeister in Stuttgart, but found the post unsatisfactory, and in 1819 he became ducal Kapellmeister in Weimar, a position which suited him perfectly and allowed him ample time for concert tours to Russia, Poland, France, the Netherlands, and England.
