His earliest musical education was under Antonín Kubík and his cousin Jan Antonín Koželuh in his hometown. By 1771 he had moved to Prague, where he studied briefly under František Xaver Dusek and wrote ballets for the National Theatre. By 1774 he had Germanized his name to prevent confusion with his cousin Jan Antonín Koželuh (1738-1814), arriving in Vienna in 1778 to study under Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. In 1781 he was given the post as teacher of Archduchess Elisabeth, Georg Christoph Wagenseil’s old position. By 1781 he was so well established there that he could refuse an offer to succeed Mozart as court organist to the Archbishop of Salzburg. He remained active in Viennese musical and social circles the remainder of his life, although in 1792 he was named as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s successor as Kapellmeister in Prague, a position that did not require residence. Although he is best known for his disparaging remarks on the music of Mozart, Joseph Haydn, and Ludwig van Beethoven, as a composer he had a reputation for works that demonstrated good orchestration and solid formal structures. His 400 or so compositions include six operas, 25 ballets, five Masses, numerous smaller church works, two oratorios, 30 symphonies, 22 piano concertos (plus others for clarinet and bassoon), two sinfonia concertantes, 24 violin sonatas, six string quartets, 63 keyboard trios, 10 parthies, two serenades, eight divertimentos, 61 dances, 87 keyboard sonatas, nine secular cantatas, and six vocal notturnos. His daughter Katharina Koželuh-Cibbini (1785-1858) was a well-known pianist and composer of piano music during the early 19th century in Vienna.
