[ The story that after his return from Prague (September, 1791), as Nie-metschek has it (p. 36), or on his death-bed,as it is usually embellished, Mozart received his appointment as actual kapellmeister, with all its emoluments, is evidently unfounded. In the widow's petition for a pension (in the Mozarteum at Salzburg) only "the expected appointment to the post of cathedral kapellmeister" is mentioned, and in a magistrate's order of December 12,1791 (in the collection of Al. Fuchs), "Joh. Georg. Albrechtsberger, imperial court organist, appointed to the post of assistant kapellmeister at the metropolitan church of St. Stephan, as successor to the late Herr Mozart." Hoffman died in 1792, and then Albrechtsberger succeeded him.]
