Joseph Haydn

composer

He loved the unconventional: Joseph Haydn’s love of experimentation did not – like Beethoven’s, for example – spring primarily from a desire for expression. Rather, it was based on the principle of questioning rules through original counter-designs. In 1799, the Leipzig [Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung] wrote about Haydn’s symphonies that “surprise cannot perhaps be driven any further in music”.

Joseph Haydn was born in 1732 in the Lower Austrian village of Rohrau near the Hungarian border. After two years with relatives in Hainburg an der Donau, where he learned “the musical basics along with other youthful necessities”, he was sent to Vienna. There, as a chorister of the Kantorei St Stephan, he received lessons in Latin, religion, mathematics and German as well as a comprehensive musical education – from “very good masters”, as he later said. At the age of 20, Haydn became pupil, valet and musical assistant to the famous Neapolitan opera composer Nicola Porpora, who he said gave him “the true fundamentals of composition”. After an appointment as kapellmeis

Joseph Haydn

Biografi:

Franz Joseph Haydn, f. 31. 3. 1732 i Rohrau, d. 31. 5. 1809 i Wien.

Haydn og Mozart bliver ofte nævnt i samme åndedrag. I deres musik har de da også gensidigt inspireret hinanden, men i deres liv var de modsætninger. Mozart blev født i en gennemmusikalsk familie og blev allerede som barn tiljublet som et geni af fyrster og adelige. Til gengæld døde han glemt og forgældet.

Franz Joseph Haydn blev født i 1732, 24 år før Mozart, som søn af en karetmager, og trods et uomtvisteligt musikalsk talent måtte han i sine unge dage hutle sig igennem som akkompagnatør og kammertjener. Først i 1761 fik han et rimeligt levebrød, da han blev ansat som kapelmester hos den musikglade fyrst Esterházy med ansvar for dennes musikere og sangere. Om sommeren gjorde han tjeneste på fyrstens pragtslot i Eisenstadt, om vinteren i palæet i Wien. Han forblev i tjenesten i næsten 30 år indtil fyrsten døde, og hans efterfølger opl&

Haydn and Mozart

Relationship between the two composers

Portraits of Haydn (left) and Mozart (right)

The composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) and Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) were friends. Their relationship is not very well documented, but the evidence that they enjoyed each other's company is strong. Six string quartets by Mozart are dedicated to Haydn (K. 387, 421, 428, 458, 464, 465, the "Haydn" Quartets).

Background

Haydn was already a fairly well-known composer in Mozart's childhood. His six string quartets Opus 20 (1772), called the "Sun" Quartets from the drawing of the sun on the cover of the first edition, were widely circulated and are conjectured (for instance, by Charles Rosen) to have been the inspiration for the six early string quartets K. 168–173 the 17-year-old Mozart wrote during a 1773 visit to Vienna.^[a]

The two composers probably weren't able to meet until after Mozart's permanent relocation to Vienna in 1781. Haydn's presence was required most of the time at the palace of Eszterháza in Hungary some distance from Vien
