Haydn is traditionally considered the father of the symphony and string quartet, and he did write the first well-known works in those genres.
Besides the symphony and string quartet, Haydn also pioneered the development of sonata form, and was innovative in his writing of keyboard sonatas, which are perhaps the first piano sonatas[?], though some may have been written for harpsichord or fortepiano[?].
HAYDN, FRANZ JOSEPH (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.

 Joseph Haydn
His influential op.33 quartets, issued in 1782, were said to be 'in a quite new, special manner': this is sometimes thought to refer to the use of instruments or the style of thematic development, but could refer to the introduction of scherzos or might simply be an advertising device.
More quartets appeared at the end of the decade, op.50 (dedicated to the King of Prussia and often said to be influenced by the quartets Mozart had dedicated to Haydn) and two sets (opp.54-5 and 64) written for a former Esterházy violinist who became a Viennese businessman.
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.

 Franz Josef Haydn biography - 8notes.com
Franz Joseph Haydn, (March 31, 1732 – May 31, 1809) was a leading composer of the Classical period, called the 'Father of the Symphony' and 'Father of the String Quartet'.
Haydn was hugely impressed with Mozart's work; it has been noted by Mozart scholars that after this time Haydn largely ceased to compose operas and concertos andndash: two of the genres where Mozart was at his strongest.
Haydn's compositional practice was rooted in a study of the modal counterpoint of Fux, and the tonal homophonic styles which had become more and more popular, particularly the work of Gluck and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, of the later Haydn wrote 'without him, we know nothing'.

 Epinions.com - Guarneri Quartet performs two of Mozart's "Haydn String Quartets" with clarity, precision.....
The Bottom Line The string quarter was a popular type of composition in the Classical era, and this recording of two Mozart pieces by the Guarneri Quartet shows why.
Of all the musical genres introduced in the Classical period, the most popular was the string quartet, with its intimate and clear sound provided by a group that consists of two violins, a viola, and a cello.
Normally (as in the two selections heard in this recording) a string quartet of the Classical era consists of four movements, similar in structure and complexity to the symphony and bearing the same gravitas as the larger work.
