  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Joseph Haydn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Joseph 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, divertimentos and masses, which became the foundation for the Classical style in these compositional types.
Haydn's musical practice formed the basis of much of what was to follow in the development of tonality and musical form.

Haydn was born in 1732, the son of a wheelwright living in the village of Rohrau near the border with Hungary.
Haydn is traditionally considered the father of the symphony and string quartet, and he did write the first well-known works in those genres.
Haydn's early work dates from a period in which the compositional style of the High Baroque (seen in Bach and Handel's music) had gone out of fashion, but composers had not yet hit upon ways of writing music in the newly emerging idioms that would bear comparable weight.
