Fue amigo íntimo de Haydn.
En 1785, Haydn, Dittersdorf, Mozart y Wanhal (alumno de Dittersdorf) tocaron en varias ocasiones cuartetos de cuerda juntos. Dittersdorf tocaba el primer violin, Haydn el segundo violin, Mozart la viola y Wanhal el chelo.
La directora inglesa Jane Glover ha querido inmortalizar este singular cuarteto con dos conciertos en Evanston y Chicago con obras de los cuatro compositores.
