	Joseph Haydn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franz 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 work became central to what was later described as the sonata form, and his work was central to taking the binary schematic of what was then called a "melodie".

	Papa Haydn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Haydn's authority was evidently rather benevolent, as he often interceded with Prince Eszterházy on behalf of musicians who had gotten in trouble in some way.
		Another sense of the term "Papa Haydn" comes from his role in the history of classical music, notably in the development of the symphony and string quartet.
		After Haydn's death (1809), during the 19th century, the term "Papa Haydn" became something of a stereotype, designating to many a kindly, perhaps doddering old man whose music was very simple and thus suitable for children.

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

		Haydn was a devout Catholic, who often turned to his rosary when he got stuck in composing, a practice that he usually found to be effective.

		Haydn was a shrewd businessman and a brilliant innovator who can at the least be credited with defining the string quartet, the symphony, and the keyboard sonata as high art forms.
		By the late 1770s, the fortepiano had replaced the harpsichord as Haydn's keyboard instrument of choice, and we know that these compositions were intended for private performance, almost exclusively as a solitary expression for the amateur player alone.
		Giving lie to the idea that Haydn's keyboard works are largely decorative, this two-movement sonata is intensely expressive, moving poignantly from G minor to B-flat major and returning restlessly to the minor in the first movement in a way that precludes the composer's usual ebullience.

		Socially speaking, Haydn was fenced off from the nobles whom he served, but he had his own orchestra to work and experiment with, and not one but two theatres equipped for drama, opera or marionette performances.
		This special importance is attributed by them not only to Haydn's maturity as a composer, but to the effect of the new experiences and impressions of his journey, and, very possibly, the fertilizing influence of his contact with the younger Mozart.
		With Haydn the last movement of a symphony had usually the quality of lively entertainment, but with the symphonists from Beethoven on this movement tended to become a dramatic climax or monumental summing up of the entire symphony.

		He was the brother of Michael Haydn, himself a highly regarded composer, and Johann Evangelist Haydn, a tenor singer....
		The term "Papa" doubtless became further and more plausible as Haydn's 30-odd years of service in the Eszterházy court went by; gradually, he would have become increasingly older than the average musician serving him under him.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Haydn Biography
		Haydn was warmly known as "Papa" by his orchestra at the Esterhazy Court where he worked for a good deal of his life, but he has become known as Papa Haydn to us all.
		Haydn was born in the town of Rohrau on the Austrian-Hungarian border in 1732, the son of a wagon maker.
		Haydn may or may not have invented the string quartet itself, but he consolidated the nascent tendencies of Rococco music into the modern sonata principle, and this became the vehicle for the most ambitious elevated musical thoughts well into the next century and even into our own.

		Haydn was then universally acknowledged as Europe’s foremost composer, Mozart having died a few years earlier, and a young Beethoven being then the new kid on the block, and not yet a contender for the title.
		Haydn seems to have lived a singularly uneventful life; a choirboy as a child, tossed out on the street when his voice changed, becoming a street musician playing for coins, eventually arising as Kapellmeister to the aristocratic Esterhazy family where despite being a high paid servant, he was a servant nonetheless.
		However, by the time these pieces were written Haydn had already established the string quartet as a four movement work, while his piano sonatas continued to have either two or three movements; their scope probably depending on for whom they were written.

	Lord Nelson Mass (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		"Papa Haydn", as his friend and protege Mozart called him, `fathered' the symphony and the string quartet, though he originated neither, in the sense of expanding these relatively new forms to full flower.
		Ironically, the Battle of Aboukir, in which Nelson's fleet took the French by surprise and decimated them, occurred while Haydn was at work on the Mass; Haydn, however, could not have known of Nelson's victory until weeks after the Mass was finished, and apparently never sanctioned naming the mass for the English hero.
		It must be remembered that Haydn's assignment, for all six of the last masses, was to write such works for the name day of Princess Esterhazy, this one in September, 1798.
