If someone is proficient at German-to-English translation, the German Wikipedia has an article on this musician at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Ignaz_Leitgeb.
I've added his dates of birth and death from that source. Engineer Bob 06:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I can't find a reference source for the following items, so I'm putting them for now on the Talk page. If someone can find a legit reference, it would be nice to put it back in.
Perhaps looking up work by John Humphries, mentioned in the previous version, might help. Opus33 19:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Leitgeb never was a cheese merchant. There are absolutely no archival sources that prove his activity in the cheese business. Only his father in law Blasius Plazeriani was a cheese monger. Leitgeb was a musician all his life and although he owned half a house, he died penniless, because he was too much in debt.-- 131.130.135.193 ( talk) 17:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Leutgeb already was in Vienna in 1775 which is proven by the death of his son Ignatz in Vienna on 10 June of that year.-- Suessmayr ( talk) 07:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
According to Maynard Solomon's Mozart biography Leitgeb was born in Salzburg and was indeed a cheese monger. Since Maynard Solomon is always right and therefore the most important source, this article should be corrected immediately.-- 178.191.48.151 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
The statement in fn 2 "Contrary to the assumption of Heartz (1995,277) and Fuchs (2009) Haydn did not stand godparent of Leutgeb's daughter." does not need a citation, because Pisarowitz's article is the source for this very information. The text of the baptismal entry proper proves that Heartz and Fuchs are wrong. Who is "Küstler 1996" in the footnotes? Info for the "experts": the name of this author is Konrad Küster. Zaslaw and Cowdery should not be used in matters of translation, because none of them knows German. Their translation of "Liebstes Mandel" with "Dearest almond" is truly legendary. The statement "Leutgeb for some reason never achieved financial security or fame that by rights his prowess should have brought him." betrays complete ignorance. It was simply not possible in Mozart's time to achieve financial security by playing the horn. As a matter of fact 99% of orchestra musicians in Mozart's Vienna died in poverty.-- Suessmayr ( talk) 10:57, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
