Joseph Haydn

Franz Joseph Haydn (born 31st
March 1732), is one of the
most famous classical composer
of the 18th century. He was
from Austria. Mostly he worked
in the “symphony” and
“string quartet” genres of
classical music. He was also a
revolutionary instrumentalist.

For most part of his musical
career, he remained a court
musician; playing for the
wealthy aristocrats at their
distant estates. This
isolation from rest of the
prevailing classical music at
that time helped Haydn to
build up his signature style,
which was unlike any other
musician. He was close to
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and
was the teacher of Ludwig van
Beethoven. His music was
diverse owing to the fact that
he was initially a courtroom
musician. His contributions to
music also led to the
development of the sonata form
of music. He also
intentionally introduced vague
chords in few symphonies that
sounded funny.

He succeeded in almost every
genre of music. He is the
father of the symphony and
string quartet. No other
musician had such an impact on
these genres. He had an
incredible life as a classical
musician. He became the most
recognized composers in
Europe. He died on 31st May
1809.
