Joseph Haydn

Joseph Haydn

Austrian composer Franz Joseph Haydn (March 31 or April 1, 1732 – May 31, 1809) was one of the most prominent composers of the Classical music era, called the "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet." A central characteristic of Haydn's music is the development of larger structures out of very short, simple musical motifs, usually devised from standard accompanying figures.
