About this title

Synopsis

The book ""Haydn"" by J. Cuthbert Hadden is a comprehensive biography of the life and works of the renowned Austrian composer Franz Joseph Haydn. The book covers Haydn's early life, his musical education, and his rise to fame as a composer and conductor. It explores his relationships with other famous composers of the time, including Mozart and Beethoven, and his contributions to the development of classical music. The book also delves into Haydn's personal life, including his marriage and his relationships with his patrons and colleagues. With detailed analysis of Haydn's most famous works, as well as lesser-known pieces, the book provides a thorough understanding of the composer's musical style and legacy. Overall, ""Haydn"" is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in classical music and the life of one of its most influential figures.A more interesting meeting took place at Bonn. Beethoven, then a young man of twenty-two, was still living with his people in the Wenzegasse, but already arrangements had been made by the Elector for his paying a somewhat lengthened visit to Vienna in order to prosecute his studies there. Since the death of Mozart, Haydn had become the most brilliant star in the musical firmament, and it was only natural that the rising genius should look to him for practical help and encouragement. It so happened that the Elector's Band, of which Beethoven was a member, gave a dinner to Haydn at Godesberg.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
