The Viennese transcriber Simon Haschke considered Stefan to be one of the greatest composers of our time, along with Wagenseil, Bach, and Haydn, and Charles Burney, a prominent musicologist of the time, listed Stefan and Albrechtsberger (one of Beethoven's teachers) as the two greatest keyboard players in Vienna.
