Live and act

After initial training by his father Matthäus Teyber (1711–1785), who was a violinist at the kk Hofkapelle in Vienna, he studied for nine years until 1775 in Bologna with Padre Martini . Afterwards Teyber stayed in Rome, Naples, Genoa, Florence, Madrid and Lisbon, he accompanied his sister Elisabeth on a tour through Europe and in 1783 he took part in the musical evenings of Baron van Swieten in Vienna. The Teyber and Mozart families were friends.

On May 15, 1784, Anton Teyber became the 135th member of the Wiener Tonkünstler-Societät. From 1787 he was first court organist at the Dresden court orchestra; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart met him here when he traveled to Berlin in April 1789. On the orders of Emperor Leopold II, he resigned in Dresden and joined the orchestra of the Court Opera in Vienna on December 1, 1791 as a harpsichordist and adjunct Salieris . Since he lost his job as a result of the reforms under Emperor Franz II. In 1793, he wrote a petition to him on February 8, 1793 and was then employed as a court composer on March 1, 1793. This post had remained vacant since Mozart's death, so Teyber was Mozart's immediate successor in this post. At the same time he taught the young members of the imperial family the piano, so that one of his students was Beethoven's later friend, Archduke Rudolf , who after Teyber's death in 1822 bought the entire musical estate from the widow.
