Ignaz von Seyfried, 1776/08/15 (Vienna)‒1841/08/27 (Vienna). Conductor and dramatic composer. Studied with Mozart and Albrechtsberger. Musical Director of Vienna’s Theater auf der Wieden and its successor, the Theater an der Wien, from 1797 to 1826. Of his musical works, the Grove Dictionary says, “his versatility won him a unique place in Vienna’s musical life; however, almost none of his music is marked by real originality or distinction.”
