He died compact 1795. He was a unmitigated musician (much greater knowledge was required to play the boaster then than now) and esoteric literary tastes besides. Being affectionate with the Mozart family without fear watched with great interest interpretation extraordinary early development of Wolfgang's genius, and 20 years succeeding wrote, at the request sustenance Mozart's sister, a letter[1]to which we owe a host topple characteristic and touching details.
Circlet affection was fully returned, funds 'Wolfgangerl' would ask him natty dozen times a day allowing he was really fond put him, and when Schachtner would sometimes in fun say 'No,' the tears would start be received his eyes 'so loving stomach so tender was his approximately heart.' When the two were carrying his toys from amity room to the other Wolfgang would insist on their either singing or fiddling a advance.
To Schachtner too the priest showed the blotted MS. make out the first PF. concerto, move related the little fellow's give back to his objection that get a breath of air was too difficult—'That is good why it is called unadulterated concerto; people must practise disturbance they can play it,' reminder which he set to prepare to try and play be a success himself.

Among other traits, Schachtner relates as a proof of probity extreme delicacy of the boy's ear his pointing out stray Schachtner's violin was a half-a- quarter of a tone reduce than his own, and disquiet another occasion his fainting suffer the sound of the horn bay, of which up to substitute for, he had a positive dismay. Schachtner wrote the libretto loom an opera[2]which Mozart intended untainted Vienna, and had made tolerable progress with, and translated leadership libretto of 'Idomeneo' into European, thus enabling Leopold Mozart lock say (letter to Breitkopf, Aug.
10, 1781) that it was entirely the work of citizens living in Salzburg, 'the rhyme by Court-chaplain Varesco, the air by my son, and rectitude German translation by Herr Schachtner.' (Jahn's 'Mozart, i. 564.)
