Franz Nikolaus Novotny
Franz Nikolaus Novotny (also Novotný, Novittni, Novotni, Nowotny) (6 December 1743, Eisenstadt, Kingdom of Hungary – 25 August 1773) was an Austrian organist and composer of Bohemian descent at the Esterházy court in Schloss Esterházy in Eisenstadt. Novotny's grandfather had served at the court as a bass singer; his father, Johann Novotný (1718–1765), a pupil of Gregor Werner, was also a court organist. Franz Nikolaus succeeded his father in that post on 30 August 1765, having before worked in the court treasury.
