	Franz Joseph Haydn - LoveToKnow 1911
		FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809), Austrian composer, was born on the 31st of March 1732 at Rohrau (Trstnik), a village on the borders of Lower Austria and Hungary.
		In 1740, on the recommendation of the Dean of Hainburg, Haydn obtained a place in the cathedral choir of St Stephen's, Vienna, where he took the solo-part in the services and received, at the choir school, some further instruction on the violin and the harpsichord.
		Haydn, thus released from his official duties, forthwith accepted a commission from Salomon, the London concertdirector, to write and conduct six symphonies for the concerts in the Hanover Square Rooms.

		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.

	HOASM: (Franz) Joseph Haydn
		Haydn proposed to serve as Porpora's factotum in return for instruction; although this arrangement was undertaken for no more than three months, Haydn later credited Porpora with teaching him "the true fundamentals of composition;" he also learned much about setting Italian texts.
		In later years Haydn saw these two events as having been decisive for his development: isolation at Esterháza forced him to be original; the keyboard music of Emanuel Bach inspired him to forge a musical idiom that went beyond the pleasantries of the galant style.
		It was not until Haydn's later years, when the impact of his own music (together with the best of his contemporaries') had been absorbed by the musical public, that larger instrumental forms began to assume the same prestige as vocal music.

	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.
		Joseph was given extensive training as a singer, and served as one of the Cathedral's principal soloists, yet voice was not his only area of study.
		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.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Franz Joseph Haydn
		The year 1756 found Haydn so well informed in the various branches of his art that he began to be ranked among the first music-masters of Vienna.

		It was received enthusiastically in Vienna, London and Paris, and until a quarter of a century ago it divided popularity with the masterpieces of Handel.
