You're welcome  . It is indeed the great Joseph Haydn, a close friend of Mozart btw. Beethoven belonged to his fanbase as well.

I knew it couldn’t be Mozart because of your first hint, and Beethoven was out of the question because 1) he died after 1814, and 2) he was German. I’ll be back later (probably tomorrow) with a new one.

Obviously. Those good old days when their loving wives maintained the virtue of silent dignity, being content to prepare the fame of their husbands in the kitchen, far from the limelight... 
Did he die before 1663?

I don't need them indeed. I cannot find anything linking to a suburban fitness club, but all other hints point at Aurobindo Ghose aka Sri Aurobindo.
