Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, Austrian composer and son of W. A. Mozart, 1791-1844

F. X. W. Mozart was the youngest child of six born to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his wife Constanze. He was the younger of his parents' two surviving children. He was a composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher from the late classical period whose musical style was of an early Romanticism, heavily influenced by his father's mature style. He received excellent musical instruction from Antonio Salieri and Johann Nepomuk Hummel, and studied composition with Johann Georg Albrechtsberger and Sigismund von Neukomm. He learned to play both the piano and violin. Mozart jr. had a relatively small output (his opus numbers only go up to 30) and after 1820 he seems to have given up composing almost entirely.
