Hello there, fellas!
In my previous life my name was Emilian Gottfried von Jacquin, born the 11th of May of 1767, in the town of Banska Stiavnica, Slowakia. My brother, Joseph Franz, was an year older than me and was also born in Slowakia.
My father was Nikolaus von Jacquin, he was a professor of Mineralogy, Chemistry and Bothanics. My mother was Catharina Josepha von Schreibers and she was a wonderful pianist, although she never played publicaly.
When I was only one or two years old, we moved to Vienna, Austria, where my father was invited to stay as a teacher and caretaker of the Emperor's garden. - We were offered a house inside the Bothanical gardens of Vienna and I lived there throughout my whole life.
My sister Franziska was born in 1769, in October and she was also a wonderful musician, she played the piano and was a student of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - and so was I.
My family met Mozart around 1782 and our friendship lasted many years, until his departure in December 1791.
Letter of Wolfgang to me:
I remember mostly everything from my childhood to my own death in the 24th of January 1792.
There is no portrait of my own, the only thing I have is my signature and letters from me and my family-circle...
