Haydn's regard for her was deep and sincere; and it was one of the tricks of destiny that she was not spared to witness more of his rising fame, being cut off in 1754, when she was only forty-six.
Frau Haydn had not yet given up the hope of seeing her boy made a priest, and though we have no definite information that Haydn himself felt a decided aversion to taking orders, it is evident that he was disinclined to hazard the danger of domestic pressure.
Haydn was to have 300 pounds for six symphonies and 200 pounds for the copyright of them; 200 pounds for twenty new compositions to be produced by himself at the same number of concerts; and 200 pounds from a benefit concert.

 Talyllyn Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By the end of the 1940s the line had fallen into a parlous state of repair with only one working locomotive, and trains had become rare and unreliable.
The line was owned by the local member of Parliament, Sir Henry Haydn Jones, who paid for the railway's losses from his own pocket.
Sir Haydn and Edward Thomas have run with similar guises in the past.

 The Project Gutenberg eBook of Haydn, by John F. Runciman
Haydn aimed at—or rather, at this epoch, groped after—a kind of music in which continuous melody expressive of genuine human feeling was the beginning and the end, and his mastery of counterpoint, harmony, and all technical devices were more than sufficient for the purpose.
Haydn gave her lessons, and appears to have visited her every day; the pair corresponded, and on his second trip to England he took lodgings in Bury Street, apparently to be near her.
Haydn spoke naturally through the string quartet, and many of the slow movements of his symphonies, beautiful and profoundly moving though they are, are quartet movements, only requiring a larger number of instruments because greater fullness and force were needed to make the music satisfying in a large hall.

 AmericanHeritage.com / HENRY HOBSON RICHARDSON
It was a part of his general and all-comprehending bigness that within a commitment to society as a whole he kept a close watch on everything that pertained to his individual buildings, to the status of the architect in society, and to the relations between architect and client (and between architect and contractor).
Henry Hobson Richardson was born on September 29, 1838, on the Priestley Plantation in the Parish of Saint James, Louisiana.
As it is, the career of Henry Hobson Richardson is one of the great unfinished poems of American cultural history, and Richardson himself is one of America’s lost leaders: a man who almost singlehandedly brought architecture from its position as hardly more than a subdepartment of contracting to the very front rank of the professions.

Sir John Barbirolli was an outstanding musical figure of the twentieth century, one of the Academy’s most distinguished alumni and a beloved colleague to generations of musicians.
Sir John played Ravel’s Quartet as a student in the cubicles of the downstairs gents after it was banned by the Principal, Alexander Mackenzie, for its unsuitable modernity and decadence.
Haydn was integral to his big-heartedness (he loved the finale of the Quartet op 74 no. 3, ‘The Rider’) and Kreisler regarded him as little less than his musical father.

Although he was living with a woman who was not his wife, the colonists left him alone until it was discovered that he had deserted several wives in Europe and was an agent of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, who claimed title to the land the Puritans occupied.
Forced to leave, Gardiner went to Maine and then to England, where, in 1632, he was one of the leading witnesses before the privy council in Gorges's attempt to have the Massachusetts charter revoked.

 Skarloey Railway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The mythology of the Skarloey Railway is based very directly on the Talyllyn's struggle for survival in the late 1940s and 50s - the original owner Sir Henry Haydn Jones is matched on Sodor by Sir Handel Brown, and Talyllyn manager Edward Thomas by Peter Sam, the Thin Controller.
Hence the names for the two engines of 0-4-2 wheel arrangement which the Talyllyn purchased as No.3 and No. 4 respectively from the Corris railway in 1951.
Sir Haydn wears his red Corris livery and Edward Thomas is now Talyllyn green, although he carried the name "Peter Sam" in red Skarloey Railway livery in the 1990s, as did No. 3 (Sir Handel) in the 1980s, described by Christopher Awdry in "Great Little Engines".

 Samuel Butler: A Sketch, by Henry Festing Jones
Nor was he more successful with the other great composers; Haydn, for instance, was a sort of Horace, an agreeable, facile man of the world, while Mozart, who must have loved Handel, for he wrote additional accompaniments to the ‘Messiah’, failed to move him.
It was not that he disputed the greatness of these composers, but he was out of sympathy with them, and never could forgive the last two for having led music astray from the Handel tradition, and paved the road from Bach to Beethoven.
