| Abstract | In his lifetime, Joseph Haydn enjoyed huge popularity throughout Europe. As a composer of symphonies, quartets, masses, and oratorios he was readily acknowledged by Mozart, Beethoven, and others as a commanding figure. He is one of the founding fathers of classical music, yet only in the last 50 years have his works become available in reliable editions, and much biographical detail has come to light at the same time. Meanwhile his music is more popular today than it has been at any time since his death. This detailed, scholarly, and lively Companion offers insight into the life, times, and music of one of the great composers of the Classical era. |
