Little is known about the nature of Pleyel’s studies with Haydn, which began around 1772, but evidently his progress was pleasing enough for his patron Count Ladislaus Erdödy to express his gratitude to Haydn by offering him a carriage and two horses for which Prince Esterházy agreed to provide a coachman and fodder.

Ignaz Pleyel was one of Franz Joseph Haydn's most accomplished and beloved students.
After accepting Pleyel when he was only 15 years old, Haydn's lifelong admiration increased steadily as he witnessed his protégé become not only a celebrated composer but also an esteemed piano maker and successful music publisher (Pleyel published the first complete edition of Haydn's string quartets).
Listening to Vilmos Szabadi's spirited premiere recording of Pleyel's first violin concerto clearly confirms the legitimacy of Haydn's respect for his pupil--it's an expertly crafted work on par with the finest examples of string concertos of the late Classical period.

 Classical Net Review - Pleyel - String Quartets Op. 2 #1-3
Composer: Although a mere blip on the radar screen these days, Pleyel (1757-1831) studied under Joseph Haydn in the 1770's and was the most popular European composer after Haydn's death.
Pleyel's music certainly shows its debt to Haydn's guidance, but what strikes me most about it is the Italianate connection, a connection that I find most pleasing.
Don's Conclusions: Ignaz Pleyel is definitely one of the better composers of the Classical era, and I strongly recommend acquisition of this superbly played and recorded Naxos recording.
