Pleyel, Ignace Joseph

 or Ignaz Josef Pleyel

(born June 18, 1757, Ruppersthal, Austria—died Nov. 14, 1831, Paris, France) Austrian-French music publisher, piano maker, and composer. He studied with Joseph Haydn (c. 1772–77), then held posts in Vienna and Strasbourg and traveled in Italy before settling in Paris. His publishing house, Maison Pleyel, published Haydn's complete string quartets (1801), and in 1802 it published the first miniature scores for study. It ceased publishing in 1834, but the piano-manufacturing company he founded in 1807 lasted until the 1960s. Pleyel's music, including 45 symphonies and more than 70 string quartets, was once very popular.
