He moved to Vienna in 1766 with the imperial court composer Florian Gassmann (1729-74), and he remained there most of his career.

Vienna's most popular opera composer for much of the last quarter of the 18th century, he had many important students, including Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, and Franz Liszt. In addition to his more than 40 operas, he wrote much other secular and sacred music.
