Michael Haydn[mikh´Ael hI´dun] Pronunciation Key, 1737–1806, Austrian composer, younger brother of Franz Joseph Haydn. Haydn, largely self-taught, was noted especially for his sacred music. He was a friend of Mozart, whose Symphony No. 37 is actually Haydn's work with an introduction by Mozart. Toward the end of his life Haydn taught the Czech composer AntonIn Reicha and Carl Maria von Weber.
