Thomas Attwood (November 23, 1765–March 24, 1838) was an English composer and organist. The son of a musician in the royal band, Attwood was born in London. At the age of nine he became a chorister in the Chapel Royal. In 1783 he was sent to study abroad at the expense of the Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV), who had been favourably impressed by his skill at the harpsichord. After ending two years at Naples, Attwood proceeded to Vienna, where he became a favorite pupil of Mozart. <a href=
