  Joseph Haydn
In his early years Haydn chiefly wrote instrumental music, including symphonies and other pieces for the twice-weekly concerts and the prince's Tafelmusik, and works for the instrument played by the prince, the baryton (a kind of viol), for which he composed circa 125 trios in ten years.
Haydn's growing reputation was acknowledged in a new contract that he signed with the Esterházys January 1, 1779, when at last, after fifteen years of exclusive employment, he was given the right to compose for other potential patrons, if he wished, and not merely for Prince Nikolaus.
Haydn's second London visit came to an end August 15, 1795, as he returned to Vienna to resume his duties at the Esterházy court, where changes had occurred in his absence.

Haydn was born in 1732 in the Austrian village of Rohrau near the border with Hungary.

Haydn is credited as the "father" of the classical symphony and string quartet, and also wrote many piano sonatas, piano trios, divertmenti and masses, which became the foundation for the Classical style in these compositional types.

Haydn was born in 1732, the son of a wheelwright living in the village of Rohrau near the border with Hungary.

Haydn was well cared for by his servants, and he received many visitors and public honors during his last years, but they cannot have been very happy years for him.

 A Game of Haydn Seek
Haydn perfected the sonata form that underpins symphonic music and created - with two violins, viola and cello - the string quartet that has yielded some of the most intimate moments in the whole of western music.
Haydn died in 1809, at the age of 77, and the Austrians have decided to designate 2009 as Haydn Year with another 30 million Euro budget and Peter Marboe, artistic director of the Mozart Year, as the likely ringmaster.
Reintroducing Haydn to London will not be easy in the celebrified 21st century, but the Austrian initiative should give a green light to our planners to attempt Il Mondo della Luna at Covent Garden and all-night string quartets at the Wigmore Hall.

Franz Josef Haydn was born on 31 March 1732, in Rohrau, a village in Austria near the border of Hungary.
Haydn later commented that he received "more blows than victuals" from his teacher, but Frankh was a competent teacher, and in two years the boy was able to enter the choir school of St. Stephen`s church in Vienna.
This work Haydn "greatly praised, warmly encouraging the composer to proceed with his studies." Later on, in Vienna, Beethoven became a pupil of Haydn, but their relationship was never successful: Beethoven was far too much the iconoclast, Haydn too much the classicist, for these two temperaments to harmonize.

 Island of Freedom - Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven was born in the provincial court city of Bonn, Germany, probably on Dec. 16, 1770.

Beethoven's formal studies in counterpoint (with Haydn and Johann Albrechtsberger), beginning in 1792, and his private study of the best new music of the time, particularly Haydn's symphonies, improved his treatment of both form and texture.
