Life

Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart was the youngest and next to Carl Thomas, the second surviving child of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; the last represented by Wolfgang Hildesheimer 's claim that he is biological son Franz Xaver Süßmayr is more likely to be seen in connection with the defamatory Constanze Mozart representation in the older literature and non- assignable. Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart's call name was Wolfgang; in official documents, autographs and editions of her work, he appeared but life under the pseudonym " W. A. Mozart son "(or" fils "or" figlio " ), because his mother had already appointed him as an infant for musicians. To this end, he received in his hometown Vienna composition and instrumental lessons with Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Antonio Salieri, Johann Georg Albrechtsberger and others.

In 1808 he went as a music teacher to a noble family in the vicinity of Lvov (Galicia ). After the end of this and another similar service relationship he settled down in 1813 in Lvov, where he worked as a teacher and composer. From Lemberg he undertook from 1818 to 1821 an extensive concert tour that took him across Europe and followed by a stay in Vienna joined. In 1822 he returned to Lviv where he born primarily by his love for a married aristocrat Josephine Baroni - Cavalcabò Countess Castiglioni ( 1786-1860 ), was bound. He was co-founder of the Lviv Music Association and organized in the city's numerous concerts, including a performance of his father's Requiem on the occasion of his 35th death anniversary on December 5, 1826 in the Lviv Cathedral of St. George, which he himself directed. A respected pianist and pedagogue he worked until 1838 in Lviv. One of his pupils was the composer Julie Baroni - Cavalcabò, married. Weber of Webenau, later behaves. de Britto ( 1813-1887 ). He spent his final years in Vienna, where he taught, among others, the 1851 in London acting pianist Ernst Pauer ( 1826-1905 ). Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart died during a cure in Karlsbad where he was buried.

Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart's work is almost forgotten today. The diffuse requirements, which combined with the idealized image of his father, he could not meet, and with age it should increasingly have suffered to have taken the same profession as his father. Like his father, he joined the Confederation of the Freemasons and was recorded in Warsaw in the box to the Hall resistance.

Like his brother, Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart died unmarried and had no children; his sole heir was his lover Josephine Baroni - Cavalcabò, the mother of his student Julie. The desire of the deceased according to handed Josephine Baroni - Cavalcabò parts of the estate to the Mozarteum in Salzburg. The direct line Mozart mid-19th century is therefore extinct. At Carl Thomas Mozart is indeed often rumored of an illegitimate daughter, but this could identify with near certainty as Costanza Casella, daughter of a Milan-based officer.
