This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features original classical wind-band music by Ignace Joseph Pleyel. Pleyel was born in Lower Austria; but eventually made his home in Paris, where he was famous as a composer, music publisher, and piano builder. Pleyel lived from 1757 to 1831, clearly making him a composer of the classical period. But he is not as well known as other composers of this period—like Haydn, who taught him and considered him a good student. After a visit to Italy, Pleyel moved to Strasbourg, France, to serve as an organist at the Strasbourg Cathedral. Eventually, Pleyel moved to Paris and became a music publisher and piano builder in addition to being a composer.
