  Joseph Haydn
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
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.

 Music 33: Franz Joseph Haydn
He excelled in every musical genre; during the first half of his career his vocal works were as famous as his instrumental ones, although after his death the reception of his music focussed on the latter (except for The Creation).
He is familiarly known as the ëfather of the symphonyí and could with greater justice be thus regarded for the string quartet; no other composer approaches his combination of productivity, quality and historical importance in these genres.
In the 20th century he was understood primarily as an ëabsoluteí musician (exhibiting wit, originality of form, motivic saturation and a ëmodernistí tendency to problematize music rather than merely to compose it), but earnestness, depth of feeling and referential tendencies are equally important to his art.

Symphony No. 91, hardly the best known among Haydn's works, emerges as a real masterpiece, with a substantial first movement involving a highly effective relationship between Largo introduction and sonata form Allegro.
