 | | Michael Haydn was the younger brother of Franz Joseph but was never completely overshadowed by his more famous and prolific senior. |
 | | With The Mozart family, Michael established a lasting friendship and it is thought that Michael's "Requiem in C-mol" was well-known by Mozart and may have influenced the compositional process of his own Requiem Mass. |
 | | Haydn's greatest influence may be felt in the merits of his student, Carl Maria von Weber and certainly the music of Schubert who venerated Michael. |
