(b Rohrau, Lower Austria, March 31, 1732; d Vienna, May 31, 1809).
Austrian composer, brother of Michael Haydn. Neither he nor his
contemporaries used the name Franz, and there is no reason to do
so today. He began his career in the traditional patronage system of
the late Austrian Baroque, and ended as a ‘free’ artist within the
burgeoning Romanticism of the early 19th century. Famous as early
as the mid-1760s, by the 1780s he had become the most celebrated
composer of his time, and from the 1790s until his death was a
culture-hero throughout Europe. Since the early 19th century he has
been venerated as the first of the three ‘Viennese Classics’ (Haydn,
Mozart, Beethoven). He excelled in every musical genre; during the
first half of his career his vocal works were as famous as his
instrumental ones, although after his death the reception of his
music focussed on the latter (except for The Creation). He is
familiarly known as the ‘father of the symphony’ and could with
greater justice be thus regarded for the string quartet; no other
composer approaches his combination of productivity, quality and
historical importance in these genres. In the 20th century he was
understood primarily as an ‘absolute’ musician (exhibiting wit,
originality of form, motivic saturation and a ‘modernist’ tendency to
problematize music rather than merely to compose it), but
earnestness, depth of feeling and referential tendencies are equally
important to his art.

1. Background, childhood, choirboy, 1732–

c1749.
James Webster
Documentary information on Haydn’s life and musical activity before

his employ by the Esterházy court in 1761 is scanty. The primary
sources comprise an autobiographical letter of 1776 and brief
biographies published just after his death by (in order of general
reliability) Georg August Griesinger, Albert Christoph Dies, Giuseppe
Carpani and Nicolas Etienne Framery, supplemented by parish
registers, musical archives, dated autographs and the like. Haydn
was born into a family of primarily south German stock, albeit in an
area of considerable ethnic diversity in which Croats and
Page 2 of 607
Hungarians were also prominent. His immediate ancestors were not
peasants (as legend has it), but artisans and tradespeople. His
grandfather and his father, Mathias (1699–1763), were master
wheelwrights; Mathias also functioned as Marktrichter (magistrate)
of the ‘market village’ (as Haydn called it) Rohrau, near Bruck an
der Leitha. Rohrau was a possession of Count Karl Anton Harrach
(1692–1758); his grandson Karl Leonhard (1765–1831) erected a
monument to Haydn in the castle garden in 1793. Haydn’s mother,
Anna Maria Koller (1707–54), had before her marriage in 1728 been
a cook at the Harrach castle.
Mathias Haydn was ‘a great lover of music by nature’ (this phrase in

Haydn’s laconic account is ordinarily taken as applying to Harrach,
but it must be his father who was meant), who ‘played the harp
without reading a note of music’; his mother sang the melodies.
Indeed all three of their surviving male children became professional
musicians, two of them famous composers. (The third, Johann
Evangelist, 1743–1805, was a tenor in a church choir and later at the
Esterházy court.) Dies says of Haydn’s father that ‘all the children
had to join in his concerts, to learn the songs, and to develop their
singing voice’, adding that he also organized concerts among the
neighbours.
Haydn’s talent became evident early on. ‘As a boy of five I sang all
[my father’s] simple easy pieces correctly’; according to Griesinger
he still remembered these melodies in old age. ‘Almighty God …
granted me so much facility, especially in music, that when I was
only six I boldly sang masses down from the choirloft, and could also
get around on the harpsichord and violin.’ In 1737 or 1738 Johann
Mathias Franck, a cousin of Mathias Haydn’s by marriage and a
school principal in the nearby town of Hainburg (Mathias’s
birthplace), heard Haydn sing in the family circle; Griesinger and
Dies also have him pretending to be playing a violin by scraping a
stick against his arm. Franck was so impressed by Haydn’s voice and
musical accuracy that he suggested that he come to live with him,
‘so that there I could learn the rudiments of music along with other
juvenile necessities’. It being clear that his abilities could not be
developed in Rohrau, his parents agreed, whether in the hope that
he might amount to something as a musician or the belief that
musical and educational accomplishments might be useful in what
they (especially his mother) imagined as his true calling, that of a
priest.
Franck was not only a school principal but the choir director of a
Hainburg church; presumably he oversaw Haydn’s education
personally. The latter was scarcely an autodidact, as myth used to
have it. Griesinger writes:
He received instruction in reading and writing, in the

catechism, in singing, and on almost all the string and wind
instruments, and even on the timpani: ‘I will be grateful to
this man even in the grave’, Haydn often said, ‘that he
taught me so much, even though in the process I received
more beatings than food’.
Page 3 of 607
Such exaggerations aside, he doubtless made rapid progress; his
account of mass singing and harpsichord and violin studies ‘in my
sixth year’ implies that these took place in Hainburg. As Griesinger
says, his schooling was not musical alone; this was also the case
when he was a choirboy in Vienna, where his non-musical studies,
though ‘scanty’, included Latin, religion, arithmetic and writing.
In 1739 or 1740 (‘in my 7th year’; Griesinger and Dies: in his eighth
year) Haydn was recruited to serve as choirboy at the Stephansdom
in Vienna: ‘Kapellmeister Reutter, on a trip through Hainburg, heard
my thin but pleasant voice from a distance, and at once accepted me
into the Capell Hauss’ (choir school). Georg Reutter the younger,
Kapellmeister at the Stephansdom since 1738 (later
Hofkapellmeister), was travelling through the provinces in search of
new talent; in Hainburg the parish priest, an old friend, suggested
that Haydn might be a suitable candidate. According to several
accounts Haydn did not know how to trill but, after Reutter
demonstrated, triumphantly got it right on his third attempt, thus
sealing his acceptance. For the next ten years, ‘I sang soprano both
at St Stephan’s and at court to great applause’. At the choir school,
‘I was taught the art of singing, the harpsichord and the violin by
very good masters’; in singing these included Adam Gegenbauer and
the tenor Ignaz Finsterbusch (both d 1753). To be sure, there was
apparently little formal training in theory or composition, although
the singing included solfeggio and the harpsichord instruction
probably entailed figured bass. But in their enthusiasm for the
notion that Haydn’s development amounted to ‘making something
out of nothing’ (Dies, allegedly quoting Haydn), most accounts again
exaggerate this supposed lack of instruction. ‘Haydn recalled having
had only two lessons [in theory] from the worthy Reutter’, writes
Griesinger, but if he could recall two, he might have had more. In
any case, ‘Reutter encouraged him to make whatever variations he
liked on the motets and Salves that he had to sing in church, and this
discipline soon led him to ideas of his own, which Reutter corrected’;
this scarcely implies outright neglect.
It was surely not on Haydn’s own that ‘he also came to know
Mattheson’s Der vollkommene Capellmeister (1739) and Fux’s
Gradus ad Parnassum (1725). With tireless exertion Haydn sought to
understand Fux’s theory; he worked his way through the entire
treatise’. However, although both Griesinger and Dies mention Fux
in the context of the choir school, Haydn’s study of him would more
plausibly have taken place during the 1750s. In any case, his copy of
Gradus is heavily annotated (in Latin); he made it the basis of his
own teaching of composition, as did Mozart. Another activity
entrusted to competent older choirboys was the instruction of their
younger colleagues in musical fundamentals; among those whom
Haydn taught was his brother Michael, who joined him there about
1745. Most important, for ten full years, at a highly impressionable
age, Haydn rehearsed and sang in performances of the greatest art-
music then being produced in Catholic Europe, amid the pomp and
splendour of the cathedral and court of an imperial capital. This
experience will have fundamentally shaped his musical intellect even
without formal training in composition.

But this life could not last; his voice broke. A characteristic anecdote
adds insult to injury by relating that after one performance Maria
Theresa said that he sang ‘like a crow’, while rewarding Michael for
his beautiful singing. Griesinger states that Reutter had earlier
suggested that Haydn might become a castrato, but his father
refused permission (although this seems potentially inconsistent
with his parents’ original hope that he become a priest). Be this as it
may, soon after his voice broke he was dismissed from the choir
school. Haydn wrote that he remained there ‘until into my 18th
year’ (i.e. April 1749 to March 1750); Griesinger’s estimate, ‘in his
sixteenth year’, is generally thought to be too early. Carl Ferdinand
Pohl, who had access to many documents now lost but gives no
source in this instance, writes: ‘We find Haydn on the street; it was a
damp November evening in 1749’. Pathos aside (the date and
atmosphere derive from Framery), the date is consistent with
Haydn’s statement.
2. Vienna, c1750–61.
James Webster
Haydn’s account of his freelance 1750s narrates a classic ‘rags to

riches’ story:
When my voice finally broke, for eight whole years I was

forced to eke out a wretched existence by teaching young
people. Many geniuses are ruined by this miserable [need to
earn their] daily bread, because they lack time to study. This
could well have happened to me; I would never have
achieved what little I have done, had I not carried on with
my zeal for composition during the night. I composed
diligently, but not quite correctly, until I finally had the good
fortune to learn the true fundamentals of composition from
the famous Porpora (who was in Vienna at the time). Finally,
owing to a recommendation from the late [Baron] von
Fürnberg (who was especially generous to me), I was
appointed as director with Count Morzin, and from there as
Kapellmeister with his highness Prince [Esterházy].
This period comprises three stages, of which the first two overlap
without clear division. (1) During the ‘lean years’, about 1749 to the
mid-1750s, Haydn was a freelance musician, teacher and budding
composer. Even then, however, he was reaping professional and
social advantage from contact with figures such as Porpora and
Metastasio. (2) Beginning around 1753, and increasingly after 1755,
his compositional activity expanded, as his reputation and access to
patronage grew. (3) His first regular appointment, as director of
music for Count Morzin, began probably in 1757 and lasted until
winter 1760–61 or spring 1761.
Haydn’s first lodgings (according to Framery) were offered by

Johann Michael Spangler, a tenor (later regens chori) at the
Michaelerkirche, in a garret with Spangler’s wife and infant son (b
Page 5 of 607
February 1749). This situation obviously could be no more than
temporary, especially as Spangler’s wife was soon pregnant with
their second child, Maddelena (b 4 September 1750); these
birthdates are consistent with Haydn’s having moved there in
November 1749 and with Framery’s account. (In 1768 Haydn
engaged Maddelena Spangler as a soprano at the Esterházy court,
where among other roles she created Vespina in L’infedeltà delusa
and Rezia in L’incontro improvviso; she was also the first Sara in Il
ritorno di Tobia.) Another good deed was done him by Johann
Wilhelm Buchholz, a lacemaker, whose granddaughter was
remembered in Haydn’s will ‘because her grandfather lent me 150
gulden without interest in my youth and great need’; the amount was
close to a year’s salary for an ordinary musician at a minor court. It
was perhaps in the following spring (1750) that he journeyed to the
huge Benedictine pilgrimage church in Mariazell (Styria). Griesinger
relates that he took with him ‘several motets which he had
composed and asked the regens chori there for permission to put out
the parts in the church and sing them’, and continues with an
anecdote according to which Haydn the next day got his way by
trickery. If ‘motet’ means a liturgical work other than a mass, it can
only have been his first Lauda Sion hymns, HXXIIIc:5; another
possibility is the Missa brevis in F. In any case this pilgrimage was
important to Haydn; later he composed both the Missa Cellensis and
the ‘Mariazellermesse’ with Mariazell in mind.
According to Pohl, it was in the spring or summer of 1750 that

Haydn occupied his most frequently described early lodgings: a
‘miserable little garret without a stove’ (Griesinger) in the so-called
Michaelerhaus, attached to the Michaelerkirche. At this time ‘his
entire life was devoted to giving lessons, the study of his art, and
performing. He played in serenades and in orchestras for pay, and
devoted himself diligently to composition, for “when I sat at my old,
worm-eaten clavier, I envied no king his good fortune”’. Here
occurred the first of many strokes of luck through which, in addition
to his genius and unremitting labour, he gradually improved his
professional lot. Griesinger writes:
Page 6 of 607
In the same house … lived as well the famous poet
Metastasio. He was raising one Fräulein Martinez; Haydn
was engaged to give her lessons in singing and on the
clavier, in return for which he received free board for three
years. At Metastasio’s he also made the acquaintance of the
aging Kapellmeister Porpora. Porpora was teaching singing
to the mistress of the Venetian ambassador, Correr;
however, because he was too proper and too fond of his
ease to accompany at the piano himself, he delegated this
task to our Giuseppe. ‘There was no lack of Ass, Blockhead,
Rascal and pokes in the ribs, but I willingly put up with it
all, for I profited immensely from Porpora in singing,
composition and Italian.’ In the summer Correr travelled
with the lady to the popular bathing resort Mannersdorf …;
Porpora went as well … and took Haydn with him. For three
months Haydn served there as Porpora’s valet; he ate at
Correr’s officers’ table, and was paid six ducats [c25
gulden] a month. From time to time he was required to
accompany Porpora on the clavier at one Prince von
Hildburghausen’s, in the presence of Gluck, Wagenseil and
other famous masters; the approval of these connoisseurs
was especially encouraging to him.
Access to such personages – whose overlapping relations were as

much social as artistic – was essential for an aspiring young
musician. ‘Fräulein Martinez’ was the composer and singer
Marianne von Martínez. At the court of Joseph Friedrich, Prince of
Sachsen-Hildburghausen (1702–87), Haydn could also have
encountered Dittersdorf (whom he certainly knew by the mid-1750s)
and Giuseppe Bonno, later Hofkapellmeister.
All these events took place during the first half of the 1750s.
Haydn’s instruction of Martínez began in 1751 or 1752; presumably
his three years with Metastasio were from 1751 to 1754. Porpora
arrived in Vienna from Dresden in late 1752 or early 1753; Haydn
might well have met him in March 1753, when Metastasio was
considering him as composer of his new opera L’isola disabitata
(which in the event he assigned to Bonno; Haydn himself set this
libretto in 1779). Given the mastery of Haydn’s music by 1755–6,
1753 or 1754 are the latest plausible dates for his having ‘learnt the
true fundamentals of composition’ from Porpora, whose expert
knowledge of singing and Italian – ‘singing’ in this context implies
Italian opera and oratorio – was also of great importance; Haydn
became fluent in Italian and the italianate singing style. In addition,
it may well have been at Porpora’s instigation that he systematically
worked through Fux’s Gradus ad Parnassum (the only work
mentioned by any source that offers ‘true fundamentals’). Another
important musical encounter was Haydn’s discovery of Carl Philipp
Emanuel Bach, but this is unlikely to have taken place as early as
about 1750, as the biographers claim. Dies portrays Haydn asking
for ‘a good theoretical textbook’; this can refer only to the second
volume of Bach’s Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen.
However, it appeared far too late (1762) to serve the function Dies
attributes to it; even Bach’s first volume (1753) was apparently not
Page 7 of 607
sold in Vienna until the 1760s. Moreover, unlike Fux or Mattheson,
neither volume figures in Haydn’s library catalogue (1804) or his
estate. Indeed Griesinger speaks more plausibly of compositions:
About this time [his move to the Michaelerhaus] Haydn

came upon the first six sonatas of Emanuel Bach; ‘I did not
leave my clavier until I had played them through, and
whoever knows me thoroughly must discover that I owe a
great deal to Emanuel Bach, that I understood him and
studied him with diligence. Emanuel Bach once paid me a
compliment on that score himself’.
Although it is unclear which of Bach’s sonatas Griesinger meant by

‘the first six’, there is no doubt of his influence on Haydn as a
composer. Again, however, Haydn’s style does not reflect that
influence until the 1760s.
An important early personal contact was with Joseph Felix von Kurz,
a well-known comic actor (under the stage-name Bernardon) and
minor impresario active at the Kärntnertortheater, for whom Haydn
supplied music to Der krumme Teufel, a comedy of the Hanswurst
type. It was apparently given its première in the 1751–2 season and
revived in May 1753, with considerable success. Neither libretto nor
music of this, his earliest stage work, survives; a libretto does
survive for a later version of 1759, often called Der neue krumme
Teufel, but, again, there is no music. It has been speculated that
many anonymous numbers in contemporary Viennese collections of
theatrical songs stem from this work or others that Haydn might
have composed, although documentation is lacking.
Haydn’s lot improved substantially in the mid-1750s, as Griesinger

describes:
At first Haydn received only two gulden a month for giving

lessons, but gradually the price rose to five gulden, so that
he was able to look about for more suitable quarters. While
he was living in the Seilerstätte, all his few possessions
were stolen … Haydn soon saw his loss made good by the
generosity of good friends … [he] recovered through a stay
of two months with Baron Fürnberg, which cost him
nothing.
A 150% increase in fees implies a rise not only in Haydn’s economic

status but his professional reputation – and therefore increased
access to patronage. The most important figure was Baron Carl
Joseph Fürnberg (1720–67), who employed him as music master to
his children (he lived near the Seilerstätte), commissioned his first
string quartets and eventually recommended him to Morzin.
Important as well was the elder Countess Maria Christine Thun, who
(according to Framery) took singing and keyboard lessons from
Haydn.
His freelance activities continued apace. Griesinger writes:
Page 8 of 607
In this period Haydn was also leader of the orchestra in the
convent of the Barmherzige Brüder … at 60 gulden a year.
Here he had to be in the church at eight o’clock in the
morning on Sundays and feast days, at ten o’clock he played
the organ in what was then the chapel of Count Haugwitz,
and at eleven o’clock he sang at St Stephan’s. He was paid
17 kreutzer for each service. In the evenings Haydn often
went ‘gassatim’ with his musical comrades, when one of his
compositions was usually performed, and he recalled having
composed a quintet [possibly HII:2] for that purpose in
1753.
(Both Griesinger and Dies supply the obligatory comic anecdotes

involving Haydn and Dittersdorf.) Griesinger’s account conflates
several church jobs: from 1754 to 1756 Haydn performed as a singer
in the Hofkapelle during Lent (1 gulden per service, not 17 kreuzer),
and in 1755 and 1756 as an orchestral violinist for balls during
carnival (4 gulden per evening). In the Hofkapelle he sang both
concerted and a cappella works, including Palestrina’s Stabat mater
and the Allegri Miserere. His Sunday job at Count Haugwitz’s newly
consecrated chapel near the Piaristenkirche began in mid-1759; he
was responsible for the entire concerted music. According to an
account by a Prussian prisoner of war, he participated in chamber-
music parties arranged by Count Harrach at Rohrau. Of Haydn’s
many students during these years, Martínez has already been
mentioned; another of more than marginal importance was Robert
Kimmerling, later regens chori at Melk.
Although a sizable number of Haydn’s works originated during the

1750s, documented dates are few. Both the very early Missa brevis
in F and the first Lauda Sion exhibit technical faults, implying that
he composed them before learning the ‘true fundamentals’ (i.e.
before c1753–4); such faults are found in no other surviving genuine
works. Griesinger writes: ‘In addition to performing and teaching,
Haydn was indefatigable in composing. Many of his easy clavier
sonatas, trios and so on belong to this period, and he generally took
into consideration the needs and capacities of his pupils’. Numerous
tiny keyboard sonatas and ‘concertinos’ indeed survive, although
some authorities argue that the smallest sonatas are not necessarily
the earliest or least accomplished, and the concertinos appear to
date from about 1760; possibly some keyboard trios antedate 1755
as well, although none is so short or simple. In any case Haydn’s
compositional activity increased exponentially in the mid-1750s. The
quintet-divertimento HII:2 survives in a later source dated 1754, and
many of his ensemble divertimentos probably date from before 1761.
Of the ten or so pre-1780 keyboard trios and the 21 or so string
trios, the earliest also may date from the mid-1750s, although others
are from the early 1760s. Late in life Haydn dated the autographs of
the Organ Concerto in C (HXVIII:1) and the Salve regina in E
(HXXIIIb:1) ‘1756’.
The precise dates of the final two stages of Haydn’s early ‘progress’
– Fürnberg and Morzin – also remain uncertain. Griesinger writes:
Page 9 of 607
The following, purely coincidental circumstance led him to
try his hand at the composition of quartets. A certain Baron
Fürnberg had an estate in Weinzierl, several stages from
Vienna; from time to time he invited his parish priest, his
estate manager, and Albrechtsberger (a brother of the well-
known contrapuntist) in order to have a little music.
Fürnberg asked Haydn to compose something that could be
played by these four friends of the art. Haydn, who was
then 18, accepted the proposal, and so originated his first
quartet [incipit of HIII:1], which, immediately upon its
appearance, received such uncommon applause as to
encourage him to continue in this genre.
Griesinger’s statement that Haydn composed his first quartet at 18,

although roughly supported by Dies and Carpani, is far too early. All
the circumstantial details, as well as the sheer mastery of Haydn’s
early quartets, suggest rather the Seilerstätte period, i.e. about
1755–7. Whether HIII:1 was actually Haydn’s first quartet, or
whether he (or Griesinger) named it simply because it occupied first
position in Pleyel’s famous edition (1801) and therefore in his own
thematic catalogue, cannot be determined. In any case Haydn had
not yet adopted the ‘opus’ format; there are, simply, ten early
quartets, of which HIII:1–4, 6 (op.1 nos.1–4, 6) and HII:6 (‘op.0’) are
probably the earliest, HIII:10, 12 (op.2 nos.4, 6) perhaps in the
middle, and HIII:7–8 (op.2 nos.1–2) probably the latest, perhaps even
1759–60.
Regarding Haydn’s employ by Count Karl Joseph Franz Morzin

(1717–83), Griesinger states:
In the year 1759 Haydn was engaged as music director to

Count Morzin in Vienna at a salary of 200 gulden, free
lodging and board at the officers’ table. Here he was finally
able to enjoy the happiness of a carefree existence; he was
quite contented. The winters were spent in Vienna, the
summers in Bohemia [at Dolní Lukavice, usually referred to
as Lukavec]…. As music director in the service of Count
Morzin Haydn composed his first symphony [incipit of no.1].
Although Dies agrees regarding the date (‘about 27’), Haydn’s

earliest symphony cannot be as late as 1759: a manuscript source
for no.37 is dated 1758 (Carpani’s date), implying a date of
composition in that year or, more likely, at least a year earlier.
Moreover, Haydn himself in old age organized a list of his
symphonies according to ten-year periods: 1757–67, 1767–77 etc.;
‘1757’ is so precise that he must have believed that it was the actual
year of his first symphony – or, perhaps, of his appointment with
Morzin. (The list also appears to confirm Griesinger’s identification
of the symphony we know as ‘no.1’ as the earliest.) Finally, if one
accepts 1749 as the date of Haydn’s dismissal from the
Stephansdom and takes literally his ‘eight whole years’ of ‘wretched
existence’, 1757 is implied as end-point; but the most likely marker
of the latter, again, was his appointment with Morzin. Be all this as it
may, the free-spending Count Morzin soon had to dissolve his little
Page 10 of 607
musical establishment. Although the early biographers again
disagree as to the date, Haydn’s marriage certificate (26 November
1760) refers to him as ‘Music Director with Count v. Morzin’, so he
probably moved from Morzin to Esterházy without meaningful
interruption. Haydn’s compositions during the Morzin years include
about 15 symphonies; keyboard sonatas (including HXVI:6, probably
not later than 1760), trios, divertimentos (including HXIV:11, 1760)
and concertos; string trios; partitas for wind band (including HII:15,
1760) and possibly the quartets op.2 nos.1–2.
On 26 November 1760 Haydn was married to Maria Anna Aloysia

Apollonia Keller (bap. 9 Feb 1729; d 20 March 1800); the marriage
contract, in which he pledged 1000 gulden as a matching sum to her
dowry (a common custom), is dated 9 November. The bride was the
daughter of the wigmaker Johann Peter Keller, who is said variously
to have assisted him in his years of poverty or employed him as a
music teacher. The early biographers relate that in the mid-1750s
Haydn had fallen in love with her younger sister Therese (b 1733),
who however was compelled by her devout parents to enter a
nunnery in 1755, taking her formal vows in 1756. It has been
speculated that he composed the Salve regina in E and perhaps the
Organ Concerto in C on the latter occasion. Whether (the
speculation continues) out of continuing gratitude to the Kellers or
owing to a psychological displacement of his own affections, he
married the elder sister four years later. The marriage was an
unhappy one (we have only his side of the story) and led to
infidelities on both sides; as he said to Griesinger (somewhat
illogically): ‘My wife was incapable of bearing children, and thus I
was less indifferent to the charms of other women’.
3. Esterházy court, 1761–90.

James Webster
With Haydn’s move to the Esterházy court, evidence regarding his

activities increases a hundredfold. However, its scope is uneven:
although the archives are informative regarding theatrical activities,
entertainments for noble visitors, personnel, payments for services,
petitions etc., they tell us little about day-to-day musical activities,
especially in the realm of instrumental music. Many documents and
musical sources were destroyed in a fire at Eszterháza castle in
1779, and little correspondence of Haydn’s survives until the
upswing in his commercial activity beginning in 1780.
(i) Vice-Kapellmeister, 1761–5.

The Esterházy family, the richest and most influential among the
Hungarian nobility, had long been important patrons of culture and
the arts; Prince Paul Anton was a music lover and capable performer.
Haydn’s predecessor as Kapellmeister, Gregor Joseph Werner, had
been appointed in 1728; he was a solid professional who composed
church music in the first instance, but also symphonies, trio sonatas
Page 11 of 607
and other instrumental works including an entertaining ‘Musical
Calendar’ (1748); in 1804 Haydn honoured his predecessor by
publishing six introductions and fugues from his oratorios, arranged
for string quartet. Paul, who from 1750 to 1752 was ambassador in
Naples and travelled widely elsewhere, collected a large quantity of
vocal and instrumental music (he had a catalogue made during the
period 1759–62; it lists one symphony by Haydn, acquired in 1760).
By about 1760 Werner was becoming infirm and his musical
orientation increasingly conservative; Paul set about modernizing
and enlarging the establishment, appointing several new musicians
before recruiting Haydn and others in 1761.
Haydn’s appointment was in the first instance as vice-Kapellmeister;

the first and last clauses of his contract address this somewhat
delicate situation, while illustrating the Esterházys’ concern for the
welfare of valued employees:
… Whereas
mo
1 a Kapellmeister at Eisenstadt named Gregorius
Werner has devoted many years of true and faithful service
to the princely house, but now, on account of his great age
and the resulting infirmities … is not always capable of

14 His Highness not only undertakes to retain the said
Joseph Haydn in service during this period [three years,
renewable], but, should he provide complete satisfaction, he
shall also have expectations of the position of
Oberkapellmeister.
Although the contract is dated 1 May 1761, Haydn may have begun
working for the court earlier that year. Griesinger states that he
began on 19 March 1760; this cannot be correct, unless it was an
error for 1761 (Dies also names 1760), and the specific date ‘19’ is
suspect (the surviving contracts begin on the first of the month). But
the Prince was in Vienna in March 1761 (music was performed at
the Esterházy palace several times that month); indeed he may have
remained there much of the time until his death in March 1762.
Moreover, the contracts with several musicians appointed 1 April
1761 include a clause requiring them to obey not only the
Kapellmeister but the vice-Kapellmeister, but the latter position did
not exist until Haydn’s appointment. Hence he may well have
selected most or all of the musicians hired from April on, and so
helped to shape the newly constituted orchestra himself.

Haydn’s contract, once thought to be demeaning, is now understood
as a standard document of its type; its terms were favourable to a
young man of 29 with only one previous position to his credit. He
was no servant, but a professional employee or ‘house officer’; he
received 400 gulden a year, plus various considerations in kind
including uniforms and board at the officers’ table. He was in charge
of the ‘Camer-Musique’, which comprised not only all instrumental
music but secular vocal and stage music as well. He had full
authority over the musicians, both professionally and in terms of
their behaviour; but he was close to many of them personally as well,
often serving as godfather to their children. His duties included
responsibility for the musical archives and instruments (including
purchase, upkeep and repair), instruction in singing, performing
both as leader and as soloist (‘because [he] is competent on various
instruments’) – and, of course, composition:
to
4 Whenever His Princely Highness commands, the vice-
Kapellmeister is obligated to compose such works of music
as His Highness may demand; further not to communicate
[such] new compositions to anyone, still less allow them to
be copied [for others], but to reserve them entirely and
exclusively for His Highness; most of all to compose nothing
for any other person without prior knowledge and gracious
consent.
Despite the immense labour and considerable tribulation this

position entailed, Haydn must have known that it was the
opportunity of a lifetime. One can well understand the joy and
satisfaction conveyed by Griesinger’s remark: ‘It was still granted to
Haydn’s father [d 1763] to see his son in the blue and gold uniform
of the court, and to hear the prince’s many praises of his son’s
talent’.
Paul Anton, already in uncertain health in 1761, declined rapidly in

early 1762 and died on 18 March. Childless, he was succeeded by
his brother Nicolaus, an even more enthusiastic musician, who
harboured even grander designs for the physical and artistic
development of the court. Goethe coined the phrase ‘das
Esterházysche Feenreich’ to describe his display at the coronation of
the Holy Roman Emperor in Frankfurt in 1764, which has passed
into the literature; in his own day he was called ‘der
Prachtliebende’ (‘the Magnificent’). His treatment of Haydn was
generous: he raised his salary to 600 gulden, regularly dispensed
gold ducats as thanks for the submission of baryton trios and after
successful opera productions and, following fires that destroyed
Haydn’s house in Eisenstadt in 1768 and 1776, paid to have it
rebuilt. As a matter of course his musical taste decisively influenced
what genres Haydn cultivated at court; whether it affected Haydn’s
style as well cannot be determined (except in cases like the works
for baryton).
The musical ensemble was at first very small, normally comprising

13 to 15 players (of whom many performed on more than one
instrument): strings (approximately 6 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello, 1 bass),
2 oboes, 2 horns and a bassoon (plus a flute in certain works or
Page 13 of 607
movements). Haydn led from the violin; no keyboard continuo was
employed except in the theatre. Beginning in the 1770s, the
ensemble was gradually enlarged, owing primarily to the increasing
importance of the court opera; at its height in the 1780s it counted
22–4 members. Especially at first, it was manned largely by
virtuosos (including Luigi Tomasini, violin, Joseph Weigl and later
Anton Kraft, cello, Carl Franz, horn and baryton), some of whom
remained at the court for decades. This situation is reflected in many
difficult and exposed passages in Haydn’s symphonies, as well as
numerous concertos from the 1760s. Indeed symphonies nos.6–8, Le
matin, Le midi and Le soir (1761) – among his first compositions in
his new position; Dies states that the ‘times of day’ topic was
suggested by the prince – were expressly calculated to show off the
new ensemble, both as a whole and in terms of the individual
players, all of whom receive solos. But Haydn was also
demonstrating his own prowess: although the topics were
traditional, the works have no precedent, either generally or in his
own output.
During the first half of the 1760s Haydn composed chiefly

instrumental music, as far as we know exclusively for performance
at court. His most productive genre was the symphony, with about
25 works; in addition to nos.6–8 they include nos.22 (‘The
Philosopher’) and 30 and 31 (‘Alleluja’, ‘Hornsignal’). The concertos
include two or three for violin, the Cello Concerto in C, a concerto
for violone (the first ever composed, as far as is known), two horn
concertos and one for two horns, one for flute and perhaps one for
bassoon; many of them are lost. Only a few keyboard works are
known, primarily trios and quartet divertimentos; there are also a
few ensemble divertimentos as well as minuets and other dances. In
addition, there were a few large-scale vocal works, usually intended
as celebrations of particular occasions: the festa teatrale Acide
(1762, first performed in January 1763, for the marriage of Anton,
the prince’s eldest son) and the somewhat mysterious commedia
Marchese (La marchesa Nespola, 1762–3; only fragments survive,
and three similar works are lost), as well as several cantatas
honouring Nicolaus himself, whether on his nameday (Destatevi o
miei fidi, 1763; Qual dubbio ormai, 1764), his return from distant
journeys (Da qual gioia improvvisa, 1764, from Frankfurt; Al tuo
arrivo felice, 1767, from Paris) or his convalescence from illness (Dei
clementi, undated). The only sacred vocal work of consequence is
the first of Haydn’s two Te Deum settings (HXXIIIc:1).
We know little of Haydn’s daily routine or that of the musical

establishment during these years, or of noteworthy events in his life.
His contract required him to appear every morning and afternoon to
see if music was desired, although a later document specified that
academies were to be given regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
From 1762 to 1765 Nicolaus lived primarily in Eisenstadt, with
frequent shorter stays at other properties. Haydn and his wife lived
in an apartment in the same building as the other musicians, next to
the ‘Bergkirche’, just up the hill from the castle. He was seriously ill
in the winter of 1764–5; the following year his brother Johann was
engaged, nominally as a tenor but de facto charitably supported by
Haydn.

(ii) Kapellmeister, 1766–90.
In late 1765 and early 1766 Haydn’s status and activities at the
Esterházy court changed radically. First came a series of crises in his
relations with the prince. In September 1765 the flautist Franz Sigl
accidentally burnt down a house; the chief court administrator,
Ludwig Peter Rahier (with whom Haydn often clashed),
recommended that Sigl be imprisoned, and Haydn was reprimanded
by the prince. Haydn however eloquently defended himself and
succeeded in having Sigl’s punishment reduced to simple dismissal
(indeed he was later rehired). In October, Werner, having just signed
his last will, wrote a vituperative letter to the prince in which he
accused Haydn of neglecting the instruments and musical archives
and the supervision of the singers. In late November or early
December Nicolaus again sent Haydn a reprimand (perhaps drafted
by Rahier), instructing him to see to these matters and to prepare a
catalogue of the archives and instruments of the Chor-Musique. At
the end stood the following postscript: ‘Kapellmeister Haydn is
urgently enjoined to apply himself to composition more zealously
than heretofore, and especially to compose more pieces that one can
play on the [baryton]’. The baryton was a member of the viol family,
on which the performer could ‘accompany himself’ by plucking a
series of sympathetically vibrating strings while also playing
normally with the bow; the prince was an accomplished performer.
Haydn, though doubtless angry and dismayed, at once began to
compose baryton trios in quantity. On 4 January 1766 he submitted
three new ones (Nicolaus pronounced himself satisfied and awarded
him 12 ducats, while immediately ordering six more), and completed
a ‘book’ of 24 (they were elegantly bound in sets) that autumn; two
additional books followed by July 1768. Thereafter production
dropped off somewhat, though remaining steady into the mid-1770s,
for a total of 126 trios plus sundry other works.
A different kind of response (so it is assumed) was Haydn’s decision

to begin a thematic catalogue of his own compositions, and thereby
to refute the prince’s charge of non-productivity. This document,
misleadingly called the Entwurf-Katalog (‘draft catalogue’, fig.3), is
of capital importance for our knowledge of Haydn’s output from the
pre-Esterházy days up to the late 1770s, as well as its chronology. It
was laid out in about 1765–6 by Joseph Elssler, the most important
music copyist at the court, doubtless according to Haydn’s plan;
Haydn made additional entries more or less regularly until the late
1770s.
On 3 March 1766 Werner died; Haydn was now Kapellmeister,

responsible for the church music as well as everything else. It was
presumably this higher status (his salary did not change) that
induced him in May to purchase a house in Eisenstadt (now a Haydn
museum). A more important change was signalled later that year: a
portion of the court, including Haydn and some musicians, spent the
summer at Nicolaus’s splendid new castle, Eszterháza, then
beginning to rise in reclaimed swampland east of Lake Neusiedl
(present-day Hungary). Over time, the prince became increasingly
attached to it, and ‘summer’ eventually expanded to ten months.
Page 15 of 607
Such an extension occasioned the ‘Farewell’ Symphony (no.45,
autumn 1772), in which the pantomime of the departing musicians
brought home to the prince the need to return to Eisenstadt.
As a result of these new circumstances, Haydn’s compositional

activity changed substantially. In addition to the upsurge in baryton
music, in 1766 he began to compose large-scale vocal works, both
sacred and secular. In the former domain he at once produced two
works on the largest scale, with an astonishing assurance of style
and technique for someone who had composed no church music for a
decade. The first was the Missa Cellensis in honorem BVM of 1766
(possibly completed later), apparently intended for Mariazell (where
earlier Esterházys had erected a chapel) or a Viennese church
associated with that shrine. More masses followed: in 1768 the
Missa ‘Sunt bona mixta malis’, about 1768–9 the Missa in honorem
BVM (‘Great Organ Mass’; Haydn presumably performed the
obbligato organ part), in 1772 the Missa Sancti Nicolai (the title
implies a celebration of the prince’s nameday, 6 December) and
about 1775–8 a missa brevis (‘Little Organ Mass’). His other
‘inaugural’ liturgical masterpiece was the Stabat mater of 1767. Its
original purpose is unknown; Haydn was confident enough to send it
to Hasse, earning a letter of praise that he much valued, and he
performed it in Vienna in March 1768. There followed a Salve regina
(HXXIIIb:2; 1771) for four solo voices, string orchestra and obbligato
organ (again performed by Haydn). It was presumably this work, not
(as he later claimed) the Stabat mater, that resulted from his vow to
compose a work of thanksgiving to the Virgin if he were cured of a
serious illness; he suffered from a ‘raging fever’ (Griesinger) about
1770–71, so threatening that his brother applied for leave from
Salzburg to visit him. The celebratory cantata Applausus (1768) was
commissioned in honour of the abbot of the Cistercian monastery at
Zwettl; because Haydn was unable to be present, he accompanied
the work with a long and informative letter on performing practice.
Haydn composed the Italian oratorio Il ritorno di Tobia (1774–5) for
the annual Lenten concert of the Tonkünstler-Societät in Vienna, a
charitable organization for musicians’ widows and children founded
by Hofkapellmeister Gassmann in 1771. He conducted the premières
on 2 and 4 April 1775; most of the roles were sung by members of
his own Kapelle. The work was a notable success; a review praised
the choruses in particular and referred to his growing international
reputation.
Beginning in 1766, the prince began to require operatic productions

at the new castle; eventually opera would become the focus of the
entire musical establishment (see §(iii) below). For the time being,
however, Haydn’s primary task was to compose operas to be
produced during the festivities celebrating visits by high personages.
Three comic operas date from the late 1760s: La canterina (1766)
apparently had its première in the summer during a visit of the
imperial court to Eisenstadt (in a makeshift theatre) and was
afterwards produced in Pressburg (Bratislava). Lo speziale (1768)
and Le pescatrici (1769–70) are both based on librettos by Goldoni;
the former inaugurated the new opera house at Eszterháza probably
during the last week of September 1768, on the visit of the
Hungarian regent, Duke Albert of Saxe-Techsen, while the latter had
its première on 16 September 1770 during the wedding celebrations
Page 16 of 607
of Countess Lamberg, the prince’s niece. After a pause, operatic
composition resumed in 1773 with L’infedeltà delusa, given on 26
July (the nameday of the dowager Princess Maria Anna, Paul Anton’s
widow), and Philemon und Baucis, a German marionette opera,
given on 2 September during the festivities in honour of a ‘state’
visit by Empress Maria Theresa to Eszterháza. (Hexenschabbas,
another marionette opera from about this time, is lost.) L’infedeltà
delusa was also given for the empress; the performance occasioned
her famous remark (if it is genuine) that in order to see a good opera
she had to go to the country. Haydn’s last opera during this phase
was L’incontro improvviso, first given on 29 August 1775, during a
visit by Archduke Ferdinand and his court.
During the late 1760s and early 1770s Haydn continued to compose
instrumental works, albeit at a slower rate than before (except
during the operatic hiatus of 1770–72). But they became longer,
more passionate and more daring. The symphonies comprise nos.26,
35, 38, 41–9, 52, 58–9, 65; many of these are among his best-known
before the London period, as is evident from their nicknames, which
include ‘Lamentatione’, ‘Maria Theresa’, ‘La passione’, ‘Mourning’,
‘Farewell’ and ‘The Schoolmaster’. He also took up the string
quartet, not cultivated since the 1750s, producing three increasingly
imposing opera in rapid succession: op.9 (c1769–70), op.17 (1771)
and op.20 (1772). The reason is unknown: there is no documentation
of quartet performances at the Esterházy court, and it has been
speculated that he composed them for Viennese patrons (Burney
described the audience’s transports at a performance of Haydn
quartets in Vienna in September 1772). He also composed numerous
keyboard sonatas for connoisseurs: HXVI:45 (1766), 19 (1767), 46
(late 1760s), 20 (in C minor, 1771), as well as seven lost works and
one that survives only as a fragment (HXVI:2a–g, XIV:5) which, to
judge from the incipits, were on the same scale. A few concertos
date from this period as well. Many of these works are so bold and
expressive that in the 20th century they became subsumed under
the appellation Sturm und Drang. The term has been criticized:
taken from the title of a play of 1776 by Maximilian Klinger, it
properly pertains to a literary movement of the middle and late
1770s rather than a musical one of about 1768–72, and early
proponents of this interpretation assumed implausibly and without
evidence that these works expressed a ‘romantic crisis’ in Haydn’s
life. Nevertheless, his style during these years was distinctive;
furthermore, similar traits are found in the contemporary music of
many other Austrian composers, including the young Mozart’s G
minor Symphony K183/173dB and D minor String Quartet K173.
In Haydn’s case this development may have been related to his turn
to vocal music beginning in 1766: perhaps the demand for
expressive depth in sacred works and dramatic effectiveness in
opera, as well as the tendency towards through-composition in both
genres, stimulated this expansion of his instrumental music. In 1769
Nicolaus began engaging a theatrical troupe each summer season; in
the seasons 1772–7 it was the famous one directed by Carl Wahr,
which played primarily comedies and other entertainments, although
Shakespeare’s tragedies were also mounted. It has been speculated
that Haydn supplied incidental music for these productions
(including even Hamlet and King Lear) and that some Sturm und
Page 17 of 607
Drang symphonies recycle this music, although the only documented
example is Symphony no.60 (‘Il distratto’, 1774), from a very un-
Shakespearean French comedy. In any case, from about 1773
Haydn’s instrumental music became generally lighter in style – the
reason (if any) is again unknown; there is no evidence of princely
intervention – and was again addressed to amateurs as well as
connoisseurs. The string quartet was abandoned. Both the
symphonies of 1773–5 (nos.50–51, 54–7, 60, 64, 66–9) and two
contemporaneous sets of keyboard sonatas, HXVI:21–6 (1773) and
especially 27–32 (1774–6), exemplify this mixed orientation; the
former was published in Vienna in 1774 (the first authorized
publication of Haydn’s music) with a dedication to the prince, who
presumably paid the costs. A third set (nos.35–9 and 20), again
mixed in style, was published in 1780.
(iii) Opera impresario, 1776–90.

In 1778 Haydn sold his house in Eisenstadt; the court now stayed at
Eszterháza at least ten months every year, and he increasingly spent
the short winter season in Vienna (see §3(iv)). The very long stays at
Eszterháza were linked to Nicolaus’s reorganization of the theatrical
entertainment there in 1776. Now there was a regular ‘season’ each
year, comprising opera, stage plays and marionette operas (in a
separate small theatre); in principle there was theatrical
entertainment every evening the prince was in residence. At first,
stage plays predominated (184 evenings in 1778, as opposed to only
50 operas – and only two musical academies; four others took place
during the day, in the ‘apartments’), but the number of opera
evenings increased steadily, reaching a high of 124 or 125 in 1786.
New productions were henceforth not grand, ‘occasional’ events, but
a regular occurrence; in 1776 there were five, and in the banner
year 1786 there were eight, together with nine revivals. Under these
conditions Haydn could not compose more than a small fraction of
what was needed, nor were new works commissioned from other
composers. Instead, operas were acquired from Vienna, where there
were many productions and a lively trade in copying; it is not known
how many were selected by the prince or Haydn during their brief
winter sojourns. Some were acquired by agents (e.g. Nunziato Porta,
the librettist of Orlando paladino), others supplied by newly arrived
singers etc., and still others purchased from archives and estates
(Dittersdorf sold the court several of his own operas in 1776). The
up-to-date repertory centred on opera buffa: the composer
represented by the greatest number of productions from 1776 to
1790 was Cimarosa (13), followed in order by Anfossi, Paisiello, Sarti
and Haydn (seven), and 24 other composers with fewer.
Once it was decided to produce a given opera, Haydn was

responsible for any musical alterations that might be required,
supervising the copying of parts, rehearsing the singers and
orchestra, and conducting all the performances – for no fewer than
88 productions in the 15 years from 1776 to 1790. This was by any
reckoning a full-time job, even if one does not count his own new
stage works, of which six originated between 1777 and 1783, or
almost one per year. First came a dramma giocoso by Goldoni, Il
Page 18 of 607
mondo della luna (given on 3 August 1777, on the marriage of
Nicolaus’s younger son). La vera costanza (1778–9) is the subject of
implausible and conflicting anecdotes in Griesinger and Dies,
according to which it was originally commissioned for the
Burgtheater in Vienna but scuttled by intrigue (neither Joseph II nor
his musicians were well-disposed towards Haydn); in fact it had its
première at Eszterháza, on 25 April 1779. It was lost in the fire that
largely destroyed the Eszterháza opera theatre on 18 November
1779; the surviving version represents Haydn’s reconstruction of the
work from 1785. It is a measure of the prince’s commitment (or
obsession) that an opera was given just three days after the fire, in
the marionette theatre, which had been hastily adapted for staged
opera (yet another noble marriage was to be celebrated). Haydn’s
L’isola disabitata to a libretto by Metastasio also had its première on
schedule on 6 December (the prince’s nameday). Next came La
fedeltà premiata (1780; given on 25 February 1781, on the
inauguration of the rebuilt opera house). In 1783 Haydn took the
unusual step of publishing the great scena for Celia in Act 2, ‘Ah,
come il core … Ombra del caro bene’, in full score; it received a
detailed and laudatory review by C.F. Cramer in his Magazin der
Musik. Haydn’s last two Eszterháza operas were Orlando paladino
(1782, for the prince’s nameday) and Armida (1783; given 26
February 1784). The later 1770s saw three German marionette
operas, also all lost in the 1779 fire: Dido (1776), Vom abgebrannten
Haus (date uncertain) and Die bestrafte Rachbegierde (1779; its
production can be inferred only from the printed libretto); the
occasionally seen Die Feuersbrunst is either spurious or represents
an arrangement of Vom abgebrannten Haus.
After 1783 Haydn composed no more operas for the court. It is not
known why he abandoned the genre, which he had cultivated
intensively since 1766 and in which he was proud of his
achievements (see §6 below), or how he persuaded the prince to
consent at a time when the number of productions was still rising.
Perhaps he was increasingly drawn to his new career as composer of
instrumental music for publication (see §(iv) below). In any case all
his other duties for the court theatre remained in force; in particular
he still revised the operas in production to suit his provincial stage
and limited personnel. Haydn made many cuts, both of entire
numbers and within them, re-orchestrated (often adding winds),
changed tempos (usually speeding them up) and ‘tailored’ arias to
‘fit’ his singers, as Mozart would have said. He composed about 20
substitute (‘insertion’) arias (HXXIVb) as well as long passages
within numbers not rejected as a whole.
Page 19 of 607
4. Joseph Haydn: engraving by Luigi Schiavonetti after the second
version of a portrait by Ludwig Guttenbrunn, c1792; the first version of
the portrait probably dates from c1770
The majority of the insertion arias and simplifications were

composed for Luigia Polzelli, a young Italian mezzo-soprano who
joined the troupe in March 1779 along with her much older husband,
a violinist. Both proved inadequate and were dismissed in December
1780 – but promptly rehired: Luigia and Haydn had become lovers, a
relationship that, like so many in that milieu, was probably an open
secret. (Haydn told Griesinger that the painter Ludwig Guttenbrunn
had been his wife’s lover during his stay at the court in 1770–72.)
While at Eszterháza Luigia gave birth to her second son, Antonio, in
1783. He and his mother believed that Haydn was the father (there
is no evidence of such a belief on Haydn’s part); he became a
professional musician and was appointed to the Esterházy orchestra
in 1803. Haydn was well disposed towards him, and even more
Page 20 of 607
towards his elder brother Pietro (b 1777); he taught them both
music and maintained contact with them throughout his life. As for
Luigia, following the dissolution of the Kapelle in 1790 Haydn
attempted to procure engagements for her in Italy; however, he
would not have her with him in London, even though her sister was
engaged there as a singer (see §4 below). Although there are no
letters from the 1780s by which we might assess the nature of their
feelings, he wrote to her often (in Italian) during his first London
visit. Those up to early spring 1792 are ardent: ‘Perhaps I shall
never regain the good humour that I used to have with you; you are
always in my heart, and I shall never, never forget you … Think from
time to time about your Haydn, who esteems you and loves you
tenderly, and will always be faithful to you’ (14 January). But those
from May and June are notably cooler – he had entered a new
relationship – and none survives from his second London visit. He
acceded to Polzelli’s requests for money, but not always immediately
or in the demanded amount, while complaining (misleadingly) how
little he had, as well as (accurately) how hard he had to work.
The vastly increased operatic and theatrical activity at the Esterházy

court from 1776 on led to an equally drastic reduction in the
performance of instrumental music. As noted above, only six
‘academies’ were listed for the entire year 1778 (all in January and
February). Presumably the prince simply lost interest; even Haydn’s
stream of baryton works began to dry up after 1773 and ceased
entirely about 1775, following the octets HX:1–6. The symphony,
from the late 1750s to 1775 the one constant in Haydn’s output,
declined as well; only nine were completed in the six years 1776–81
(nos.53, 61–3, 70–71, 73–5), none at all in 1777 or the first half of
1778. Even these few symphonies often include adaptations of stage
music. No.63 in C begins with the overture to Il mondo della luna,
and the slow movement (‘La Roxelane’) is based on a theme from a
stage play; the slow movement of no.73, ‘La chasse’, uses his own
lied Gegenliebe and the finale recycles the overture to La fedeltà
premiata. He even recycled the overture HIa:7 twice, in the finale of
one version of no.53 (‘Imperial’) and the opening movement of no.62.
From this time on, the Esterházy court was no longer the primary
destination for Haydn’s instrumental music.
(iv) Independence, 1779–90.

Nevertheless, Haydn was able to continue his career as an
instrumental composer. In contrast to London, Paris and elsewhere,
where unauthorized editions of his music had been appearing
steadily since 1764, there was no music publishing industry to speak
of in the Habsburg realm; most music circulated in manuscript
copies. This situation changed in 1778, when Artaria & Co., hitherto
primarily art dealers and mapmakers, expanded into music printing;
other firms soon followed. Artaria and Haydn must have made
contact in 1779 (it is not known who took the initiative); their first
publication was a set of six keyboard sonatas, HXVI:35–9, 20
(delivered in winter 1779–80, published in April 1780), dedicated to
the virtuoso sisters Katharina and Marianna von Auenbrugger.
Dozens of Viennese publications of Haydn’s music followed over the
Page 21 of 607
next decade. This would not have been possible on the terms of his
1761 contract, which forbade him from selling music on his own or
composing for anyone else without permission. However, he signed a
new contract on New Year’s Day 1779, in which these prohibitions
were omitted; the conjunction with Artaria’s founding in 1778 and
Haydn’s publication of music with them beginning in 1779–80
cannot be coincidental. The prince was losing interest in
instrumental music; Haydn must have persuaded him to strike a
compromise, whereby he remained in residence at court, continued
in charge of the opera and drew his full salary, but was granted
compositional independence in other respects, including the income
from sales of his music. In addition, he began to market his music in
other countries: in England beginning in 1781 with Forster, to whom
he sold more music than to anyone except Artaria; in France
beginning in 1783, selling Symphonies nos.76–8 (composed 1782) to
Boyer and offering nos.79–81 (1783–4) to Naderman. (To be sure,
certain works not composed for the court – for example, the ‘Paris’
Symphonies – were still performed, or at any rate tried out, there
before being sent into the world, and others, such as the piano
sonatas HXVI:40–42, were dedicated to members of the princely
family.)
Haydn soon learnt to maximize his income by selling a given work in

several countries, accepting a separate fee for each. Except in
Vienna and London he often worked through a middleman. These
activities were in many respects unregulated (modern copyright law
being in its infancy); unauthorized ‘double copying’ was a constant
danger, and everyone attempted to maximize his advantage –
including Haydn, whose tactics were often unscrupulous, to say the
least. He often earned his ‘little extra’ by selling manuscript copies
of new works to private individuals; such ‘subscription’ copies still
carried a certain prestige. An example is offered by his famous
letters offering the string quartets op.33, composed in summer and
autumn 1781 and sold to Artaria by prior arrangement. On 3
December he wrote to between ten and 20 noble and well-to-do
music lovers, including the Swiss intellectual Johann Caspar Lavater:
I love and happily read your works … Since I know that in

Zürich and Winterthur there are many gentlemen amateurs
and great connoisseurs and patrons of music, I cannot
conceal from you the fact that I am issuing a work
consisting of 6 Quartets for two violins, viola and violoncello
concertante, by subscription for the price of six ducats; they
are of a new and entirely special kind, for I haven’t written
any for ten years … Subscribers who live abroad will
receive them before I issue the works here …
However, Artaria (who presumably knew nothing of these activities)

announced the forthcoming publication of the quartets on 29
December at a price of 4 gulden (6 ducats equalled approximately 25
gulden). Haydn was furious:
Page 22 of 607
It was with astonishment that I read … that you intend to
publish my quartets in four weeks … Such a proceeding
places me in a most dishonourable position and is very
damaging; it is a most extortionate step on your part … Mr
Hummel [the publisher] also wanted to be a subscriber, but
I did not want to behave so shabbily, and I did not send
them to Berlin solely out of regard for our friendship and
further transactions; by God! you owe me more than 50
ducats, since I have not yet satisfied many of the
subscribers, and cannot possibly send copies to those living
abroad; this step must cause the cessation of further
transactions between us.
In fact, it did not come to a rupture: Artaria delayed publication until

April, and Haydn apparently sold the quartets to Hummel after all;
both parties now better understood the ground rules (‘the next time’,
wrote Haydn later, ‘we shall both be more prudent’). A loss of 50
ducats implies about eight unsold copies; in 1784 Haydn claimed to
Artaria that he had ‘always received more than 100 ducats through
subscriptions to my quartets’. Even as his publications increased,
Haydn continued to market manuscript copies, especially in genres
that were not ordinarily published (such as sacred vocal music), and
to sell all sorts of music in places where there was still no music
publishing industry, notably Spain. These were hardly ever new
works. To be sure, he wrote to Artaria in 1784: ‘The quartets I’m
working on just now … are very small and with only three
movements; they are destined for Spain’, but no trace of such works
survives, unless it be the small-scale (but four-movement) single
quartet op.42 (1785), which, however, appears to have been
composed for a periodical series published by Hoffmeister.
Another risk arose from the circumstance that many publishers sold
works from their own catalogues to business partners in other
markets. Forster naturally assumed he had exclusive rights in
England to the works Haydn had sold him. However, when Artaria
sold some of the same works to Longman & Broderip, two ostensibly
authorized editions were suddenly in direct competition. To make
matters worse, among the works Haydn sold Forster was a set of
piano trios HXV:3–5, the first two of which were almost certainly
compositions of his former pupil Pleyel. Later, Pleyel sold them to
Longman & Broderip; when the latter edition appeared, Forster
embarked on a lawsuit with Longman, in which Haydn became
entangled when he went to England; it was settled out of court.
Despite such difficulties, his methods of exploiting multiple markets
became a model for the next two generations of composers; he
‘taught’ it to Beethoven (who learnt his lesson well, including the
unscrupulous aspects), and it was still used by Mendelssohn and
Chopin. He was also adept at ‘marketing’. He described Symphonies
nos.76–8 as ‘beautiful, impressive and above all not very long
symphonies … and in particular everything very easy’, and his first
authorized Viennese publication of orchestral music (late 1782) was
devoted, not to symphonies, but to the ‘easier’ genre of the overture.
Page 23 of 607
For all these reasons Haydn’s compositional activity underwent a
radical change in the 1780s. His music, which been well known and
much praised since the mid-1760s, was now genuinely popular: he
could scarcely keep up with the demand. He concentrated on what
was salable: instrumental works that would appeal to both amateurs
and connoisseurs, opera excerpts and lieder. As long as his works
had been destined for the court or published without his
participation, he had had little need to follow the ‘opus’ principle;
now he adopted it for almost all his publications. Even the string
quartet was subject to another pause of six years (and the example
of Mozart’s quartets dedicated to him) before he composed three
sets in rapid succession during 1787–90: op.50 (Artaria; dedicated to
the King of Prussia), op.54/55 (a single set of six, sold to Johann Tost,
formerly a violinist at court, who resold them to various publishers)
and op.64. The English publisher John Bland visited him at
Eszterháza in November 1789, when Haydn promised him a new
quartet in return for a new razor (Haydn thanked him for the razors
in April 1790). However, a ‘new’ quartet could not have been the one
now known as the ‘Razor’ (op.55 no.2, composed in 1788 and never
published by Bland); it is more likely that the story has to do with op.
64 (1790), which Bland did publish in an authorized edition.
A genre that Haydn had not cultivated since the mid-1760s but
which now again became important was the piano trio, with 13
works in the 1780s. HXV:5 (1784) and 9–10 (1785) were sold to
Forster; nos.6–8 (1784–5) and 11–13 (1788–9) to Artaria, as was no.
14 (1789–90). Nos.15–17 (1790) were composed for Bland; they
specify a flute rather than a violin as the melody instrument (no.17:
flute or violin). The piano sonatas nos.33, 34 and 43 were assembled
post facto and published in 1783; by contrast, nos.40–42 are an
‘opus’ (published 1784; dedicated to Marie Hermenegild, wife of the
later Prince Nicolaus II). Two important single sonatas date from
1789–90: HXVI:48 in C, composed for Breitkopf in Leipzig, and HXVI:
49 in E♭, for Maria Anna von Genzinger; the Capriccio HXVII:4,
composed ‘in a launige hour’ in 1789, is equally fine. Another genre
made newly popular through publication was the lied; Haydn
composed 24 in 1781–4 (HXXVIa:1–24) and published them with
Artaria in two sets of 12.
Even in the early 1780s Haydn was no mere ‘entertainer’. But a

newly serious orientation was instigated by his receipt in about
1784–5 of two prestigious commissions from abroad, both executed
in 1785–6. Six symphonies were commissioned by Count d’Ogny for
performance in Paris by the Concert de la Loge Olympique (a
masonic organization); the fee was later reported to have been 25
louis d’or for each symphony (Mozart had been paid only 5 for the
Paris Symphony K297/300a) and Haydn received also 5 louis d’or
from Imbault for the publication rights. The Concert employed a
much larger orchestra than any for which he had composed
symphonies; whether for this reason or simply owing to the notion of
‘Paris’, they are the grandest he had yet written. They were
immensely popular; Marie Antoinette supposedly preferred no.85 in
B♭, whence its nickname ‘La reine’; compare ‘L’ours’ (no.82) and ‘La
poule’ (no.83). Their success led to additional symphonies: Haydn
sold nos.88–9 (1787) to Tost, who resold them in Paris and
elsewhere, and d’Ogny commissioned nos.90–92 (1788–9).
Page 24 of 607
The other commission was a highly unusual one from Cádiz, for a
series of orchestral pieces on the last words of Christ, to be
performed in a darkened church as a kind of Passion during Holy
Week, presumably on Good Friday. Haydn described them to Forster
as
purely instrumental music divided into seven Sonatas, each

Sonata lasting seven or eight minutes, together with an
opening Introduction and concluding with a Terremoto or
Earthquake. These Sonatas are composed on, and
appropriate to, the Words that Christ our Saviour spoke on
the Cross. …
Each Sonata, or rather each setting of the text, is expressed

only by instrumental music, but in such a way that it creates
the most profound impression on even the most
inexperienced listener.
Griesinger commented: ‘Haydn often stated that this work was one
of his most successful’. It was widely performed and favourably
received, not least owing to its avoidance of what were taken to be
the chief dangers of tone-painting, excessive literalness and
triviality. Haydn also sold the Seven Last Words in arrangements,
one for string quartet and one for keyboard.
A distinctly lighter series of commissions came from King

Ferdinando IV of Naples. Like Prince Esterházy, he had become
proficient on an out-of-the-way instrument: the lira organizzata, a
sort of grown-up hurdy-gurdy. He commissioned concertos and
‘notturnos’ for two lire organizzate from various composers; Haydn
supplied five or six concertos (HVIIh, 1786–7) and eight notturnos
(HII:25–32, 1789–90).
Haydn’s stays in Vienna were still restricted to one or two months

each winter and occasional brief visits during Lent. He increasingly
valued the imperial capital’s artistic and intellectual life, which was
flourishing under Joseph II, and chafed at having to spend so much
time in the ‘wasteland’ (Einöde) of Eszterháza. He acquired many
friends and patrons, including Baron Gottfried van Swieten (whom
he had met in 1775), Councillor Franz Sales von Greiner (1730–98;
father of the later Caroline Pichler), who presided over Vienna’s
leading literary salon and supplied Haydn with lieder texts, Anton
Liebe von Kreutzner, who in 1781–2 commissioned the
Mariazellermesse and to whose daughter Haydn dedicated his lieder
published in 1781, Councillor Franz Bernhard von Keess, who held
regular concerts of orchestral music and made the first systematic
attempt to collect all of Haydn’s symphonies, and Michael Puchberg
(Mozart’s patron). Their orientation, reflecting that of the emperor,
was enlightened-conservative: they were interested in literature,
philosophy and education and largely rejected dogmatism, yet
retained a traditional and Catholic outlook – all traits that Haydn
shared. The majority were freemasons; Nicolaus himself was Master
of Ceremonies at one Viennese lodge, and it was most probably he or
others in this circle who induced Haydn to apply for membership in
the order. Haydn did so on 29 December 1784 and was inducted into
the lodge ‘Zur wahren Eintracht’ on 11 February 1785; however,
Page 25 of 607
there are no further records of his participation, and (despite one
further letter) it appears that freemasonry was of no particular
significance to him.
Haydn’s visits to Vienna offered many opportunities for

performances of his music. The string quartets op.33 are still
sometimes called the ‘Russian’ quartets, owing to a dedication on a
late edition that reflects a performance given on Christmas Day 1781
for Grand Duke Paul of Russia (later Tsar Paul I) and his music-loving
consort. Regarding his lieder, Haydn told Artaria: ‘I will sing them
myself, in the best houses. A master must see to his rights by his
presence and by correct performance’. In February 1779 the
Tonkünstler-Societät had invited Haydn to join, but attached
conditions not to his liking; he gruffly refused. In March 1784,
however, he produced Il ritorno di Tobia for them in a revised
version. The ‘tightness’ of the Viennese performing scene is evident
from the fact that among the five soloists were four who had taken
part (or would do so) in Mozart opera premières: Anna: Nancy
Storace (Figaro, Susanna) Raffaelle: Catarina Cavalieri
(Entführung, Konstanze) Tobia: Valentin Adamberger (Entführung,
Belmonte) Tobit: Stefano Mandini (Figaro, Count Almaviva)Haydn
and Storace became warm friends; he later composed a cantata ‘for
the voice of my dear Storace’ (possibly Miseri noi, HXXIVa:7). In
January 1787 three of the ‘Paris’ symphonies were performed, and in
March the Seven Last Words at the Palais Auersperg; both were
unpublished novelties at the time.
The friendship between Haydn and Mozart also developed in Vienna.

It is believed that they first met in 1783–4, at a performance such as
that of Tobia just described, one of Mozart’s ‘academies’, or at a
quartet party: Michael Kelly’s (late and perhaps untrustworthy)
reminiscence of Stephen Storace’s quartet comprising Haydn,
Dittersdorf, Mozart and Vanhal is set in 1784 (Kelly later visited
Haydn at the Esterházy court). Mozart performed his six new
quartets for ‘my dear friend Haydn and other good friends’ on 15
January 1785, and the last three again on 12 February; the latter
occasioned Haydn’s famous remark to Leopold Mozart that Wolfgang
was the greatest composer he knew, ‘either by name or reputation’.
And Mozart’s dedicatory letter in Artaria’s edition of the quartets
(September 1785) is headed: ‘To my dear friend Haydn’. In the
winter of 1789–90 he invited Haydn to rehearsals of Così fan tutte,
and Haydn organized a quartet party in which Mozart’s participation
can be inferred.
The nature of their relationship has been much discussed. Many

writers have romanticized it, beginning with Griesinger’s and Dies’s
sentimental accounts of their tearful farewell in December 1790 on
Haydn’s departure for London (including Haydn’s alleged comment,
‘My language is understood in the entire world’). Others are
sceptical, noting that the surviving documentation derives solely
from two winters, 1784–5 and 1789–90, and that Mozart’s dedicatory
letter may protest his friendship a little too much. But there is no
doubt of their mutual admiration as composers: each acknowledged
the other as his only peer and as the only meaningful influence on
his own music in the 1780s. Mozart’s dedication of quartets to
Haydn – a mere composer rather than a rich or noble patron – was
Page 26 of 607
unusual (although cynics note that he might have attempted to
recruit the latter, but failed), and Griesinger relates an anecdote
according to which he defended Haydn against a stupid criticism by
Kozeluch: ‘neither you nor I would have hit on that idea’. But
Haydn’s expressions of admiration went further. In a famous (albeit
unauthenticated) letter of 1787 to the impresario Franz Rott in
Prague, he admitted that he feared comparison with ‘the great
Mozart’, at least on the stage:
If only I could impress Mozart’s inimitable works on the soul

of every friend of music, and the souls of high personages in
particular, as deeply, with the same musical understanding
and with the same deep feeling, as I understand and feel
them, the nations would vie with each other to possess such
a jewel.
In early 1792 he wrote to Puchberg: ‘I was quite beside myself for

some time over [Mozart’s] death and could not believe that
Providence would transport so irreplaceable a man to the other
world’, adding that he had offered to teach Mozart’s son Karl
without fee (something he did not do lightly). ‘I have often been
flattered by my friends with having some genius’, he said in Burney’s
hearing, ‘but he was much my superior’. It is remarkable that his
feelings were apparently marked neither by jealousy nor a
compromise of his musical self-confidence, except possibly regarding
opera; they had no effect on his productivity.
In any case it was a friend of a different sort whom Haydn most

cherished around 1790: Maria Anna von Genzinger (1750–93), the
wife of an important physician (whose clients included Nicolaus
Esterházy) and a talented amateur pianist. In June 1789 she sent
Haydn her piano arrangement of the slow movement of an
unidentified composition; he responded with praise, and the
relationship rapidly became intense, although as far as can be told it
remained platonic. Haydn’s letters to Mme Genzinger are his most
fervent and intimate; that of 9 February 1790, following his sudden
return from Vienna to Eszterháza, is at once poignant and amusing:
Page 27 of 607
Here I sit in my wilderness – forsaken – like a poor waif –
almost without human society – sad – full of the memories of
past glorious days – yes! past, alas! – and who knows if
those days will return again? Those wonderful parties? –
where the whole circle is one heart, one soul – all the
beautiful musical evenings? … For three days I didn’t know
if I was Kapellmeister or Kapell-servant. Nothing could
console me, my whole house was in confusion, my
pianoforte, which I usually love, was perverse and
disobedient … I could sleep only a little, even my dreams
persecuted me; and then, just when I was happily dreaming
that I was listening to Le nozze di Figaro, the horrible North
wind woke me and almost blew my nightcap off my head …
Alas! alas! I thought to myself as I was eating here, instead
of that delicious slice of beef, a chunk of a 50-year-old cow
… Here in Eszterháza no one asks me: ‘Would you like some
chocolate, with milk or without? … What may I offer you, my
dear Haydn, would you like a vanilla or a strawberry ice?’
But, as always, he soon recovered; the letter continues: ‘I am

gradually getting used to country life, and yesterday I composed
[studierte] for the first time, and indeed quite Haydnish’. Later that
year he completed a sonata (HXVI:49) for Mme Genzinger, in the
course of which he also advised her on the purchase of a new
fortepiano; earlier he had advised her daughter Josepha about her
performances of his cantata Arianna a Naxos (HXXVIb:2), perhaps
composed in 1789 for the Venetian singer Bianca Sacchetti.
But the year 1790 was to prove even more disruptive than Haydn
could have suspected in early February. Joseph II died on 20
February, throwing Vienna into mourning; five days later, Nicolaus
Esterházy’s wife died (Haydn had his hands full keeping him from
succumbing to depression), followed on 28 September by the prince
himself. Anton, his son and successor, immediately dissolved the
musical and theatrical establishment, although Haydn was kept on at
a reduced salary without official duties; he also received 1000
gulden a year from Nicolaus’s estate. He at once moved to Vienna,
taking rooms with a friend, J.N. Hamberger. He declined an offer to
become Kapellmeister for Prince Grassalkovics (Nicolaus’s son-in-
law, resident in Pressburg), and made it clear to King Ferdinando
that he would not fulfil any vague promises he might have made to
travel to Naples. Whatever his intentions were, they were soon
overtaken by events.
4. London, 1791–5.
James Webster
Johann Peter Salomon, born in Bonn but living in London as a

violinist and concert producer, heard of Nicolaus Esterházy’s death
while in Europe engaging musicians for the coming season; he
immediately travelled to Vienna, called on Haydn and ‘informed’ him
that he would now be going to London. Salomon was not the first to
contemplate this. In 1783 Haydn said of Symphonies nos.76–8 that
Page 28 of 607
they were composed ‘for the English gentlemen, and I intended to
bring them over myself and produce them’ at the Professional
Concert (the successor to the Bach-Abel Concerts of 1774–82); in
July 1787 he contemplated composing an opera and instrumental
works for G.A.B. Gallini, the impresario of the Italian opera. Salomon
himself had had business dealings with Haydn, who in a letter to
Bland of April 1790 referred to 40 ducats owed him by Salomon.
However, as long as Nicolaus Esterházy was alive Haydn had been
unwilling or unable to negotiate his freedom; now, Prince Anton
willingly granted him a year’s leave.
Salomon’s initial contract with Haydn governed the 1791 season.

Haydn was guaranteed £300 for an opera (here Salomon was acting
as agent for Gallini), £300 for six symphonies, £200 for the rights to
publish the latter, £200 for 20 other compositions to be conducted at
his concerts and £200 profit from a ‘benefit’ concert. Haydn and
Salomon left Vienna on 15 December, travelling via Munich,
Wallerstein (where Haydn conducted Symphony no.92) and Bonn to
Calais, from where they sailed to Dover on New Year’s Day 1791,
arriving in London the next day. ‘I stayed on deck during the entire
crossing’, he wrote to Mme Genzinger on 8 January, ‘so as to gaze
my fill of that great monster, the ocean’.
London was the largest and economically most vibrant city in the
world, made even more cosmopolitan by refugees from the French
Revolution. Haydn settled in the same house where Salomon lived
and also had a studio at Broadwood’s music shop, although he
complained of the noise and later moved to a suburb. He
immediately plunged into a hectic social and professional life which,
however stimulating, competed with his need to compose:
My arrival caused a great sensation … I went the rounds of

all the newspapers for three successive days. Everyone
wants to know me … If I wanted, I could dine out every day;
but first I must consider my health, and second my work.
Except for the nobility, I admit no callers until 2 o’clock.
He also had to give fortepiano lessons, primarily to high personages;

he was soon invited to a ball at the Court of St James, and to a
concert sponsored by the Prince of Wales (later George IV). The
latter was an enthusiastic amateur who became Haydn’s most
important royal patron; on 1 February 1795 he arranged a soirée
with George III and the queen in attendance, in which all the music
was of Haydn’s composition and he both played and sang. Other
royal invitations followed that month and in April.
London’s musical life was active and varied, and enriched by a

constant stream of artists from abroad. It is abundantly documented;
about Haydn’s activities there are also his letters to Genzinger and
Polzelli, as well as the observations and anecdotes jotted down in his
‘London Notebooks’. The ‘season’ ran from February to May; it
included two series of concerts in the Hanover Square Rooms
(Salomon and Haydn on Monday and the Professional Concert on
Friday), opera on Tuesday and Saturday, and ‘ancient music’ on
Wednesday. Performing forces were generally larger than in Vienna
or Eszterháza; in 1791–2 Haydn’s symphonies were performed by
Page 29 of 607
about 40 players, in 1795 by about 60. The typical concert was a
mixed affair, including symphonies, sonatas, arias and duets. A
special feature was the massed choral performances in Westminster
Abbey; Haydn’s experience of hearing Handel’s oratorios there was
the chief stimulus for The Creation.
Haydn arrived with relatively few new works except the string
quartets op.64; they were published in 1791–2 by Bland, ‘composed
r
by Giuseppe Haydn, and performed under his direction, at M
Salomon’s Concert’. However, Symphonies nos.90–92 had not yet
been printed in England; Haydn made use of nos.90 and 92 in 1791,
as well as lyre notturnos (arranged for flute and oboe) and Arianna a
Naxos. Symphony no.92 soon became a favourite, and was one of
several symphonies performed on the occasion of his receiving the
honorary doctorate of music at Oxford, 6–8 July 1791 (whence its
nickname). This event meant a great deal to him; thereafter he often
referred to himself in public documents (or when needing to assert
his status) as ‘Doktor der Tonkunst’.
Among Haydn’s new compositions in 1791–2 were the first six

‘London’ symphonies (nos.93–8). Only nos.95 in C minor and 96 in D
(‘Miracle’) were given in 1791; the others followed in 1792, although
nos.93–4 had been composed in the second half of 1791: no.93 in D
(17 February), 98 in B♭ (2 March), 94 in G (‘Surprise’, 23 March), 97
in C (3 or 4 May). His benefit concert in May (fig.3) cleared £350,
nearly double the £200 he had been guaranteed. Even though the
journalistic prose is somewhat formulaic and may to some extent
even have been ‘suggested’ by Salomon, these concerts were a
sensation. The following report is of the first, on 11 March 1791:
Never, perhaps, was there a richer musical treat. It is not

wonderful that to souls capable of being touched by music,
HAYDN should be an object of homage, and even of idolatry;
for like our own SHAKSPEARE he moves and governs the
passions at will. His new Grand Overture [symphony] was
pronounced by every scientific ear to be a most wonderful
composition; but the first movement in particular rises in
grandeur of the subject, and in the rich variety of air and
passion, beyond any even of his own productions.
The symphony was no.92, 95 or 96. Charles Burney, with whom

Haydn was to become fast friends, waxed equally enthusiastic:
Haydn himself presided at the piano-forte; and the sight of

that renowned composer so electrified the audience, as to
excite an attention and a pleasure superior to any that had
ever, to my knowledge, been caused by instrumental music
in England. All the slow middle movements were encored;
which never happened before, I believe, in any country.
By contrast, Haydn’s new opera, L’anima del filosofo or Orfeo ed

Euridice, was never produced: although he composed it during the
spring of 1791 and it had entered rehearsal, Gallini (owing to
political intrigue) was denied a licence for the theatre.
Page 30 of 607
6. Advertisement from ‘The Times’ (16 May 1791) concerning Haydn’s
benefit concert, to be given on that day
By the end of the 1791 season Salomon and Haydn were agreed that
he would stay for another year. However, Anton Esterházy (who had
written to Haydn cordially in February) wanted him to return; when
Haydn informed him that he had signed a new contract with
Salomon and requested an additional year’s leave, the prince
refused, demanding that he inform him ‘by the next post the exact
time when you will arrive back here again’. Haydn feared outright
dismissal; as so often, it did not come to that. The summer and
autumn gave him ample opportunity to compose, travel and expand
his social circle. In August and early September he stayed on the
estate of Nathaniel Brassey, a banker, in Hertfordshire. By mid-
September he was back in London; on 5 November he attended an
official banquet given by the newly installed Lord Mayor (amusingly
described in the Notebooks). On 24–5 November he stayed at
Oatlands, a property of the Duke of York, who the previous day had
been married to a daughter of the King of Prussia; the new duchess
became one of his most loyal patrons.
Meanwhile, he had begun giving piano lessons to Rebecca Schroeter,

the attractive and well-to-do widow of the composer and pianist
Johann Samuel Schroeter. During the winter of 1791–2 this
relationship blossomed into a passionate affair, documented by
copies Haydn made of her letters to him (beginning with this one,
from 7 March):
Page 31 of 607
My D[ear]: I was extremely sorry to part with you so
suddenly last Night … I had a thousand affectionate things
to say to you, my heart was and is full of TENDERNESS for
you, you are DEARER to me every day of my life … I am truly
sensible of your goodness, and I assure you my D. if
anything had happened to trouble me, I would have opened
my heart, & told you with the most perfect confidence. Oh
how earnestly [I] wish to see you. I hope you will come to
me tomorrow. I shall be happy to see you both in the
Morning and the Evening.
Haydn later confirmed the relationship to Dies: ‘an English widow in

London, who loved me … a beautiful and charming woman and I
would have married her very easily if I had been free’. Although no
letters between them survive following his departure in the summer
of 1792, they remained close: Haydn dedicated the piano trios HXV:
24–6 (1795) to her, she witnessed an important contract of 1796
regarding English editions of his music, they were in touch again
regarding business in 1797 and she was a subscriber to The
Creation.
Haydn’s and Salomon’s plans for the 1792 season were complicated
by the organizers of the Professional Concert, whom Haydn had
disappointed in the 1780s and who in 1791 had printed scurrilous
notices alleging that his talent had dried up. As he wrote to
Genzinger (17 January), complaining of overwork:
At present I am [composing] for Salomon’s concerts, and I

am making every effort to do my best, because our rivals,
the Professional Concert, have had my pupil Pleyel from
Strasbourg come here to conduct their concerts. So now a
bloody harmonious war will commence between master and
pupil. The newspapers are all full of it, but it seems to me
that there will soon be an armistice, because my reputation
is so firmly established. Pleyel behaved so modestly towards
me on his arrival that he won my affection again.
Pleyel’s music, similar to but far less brilliant and complex than his
master’s, was then very popular. Haydn’s outward modesty and good
manners notwithstanding, he was not about to be upstaged by a
former student whose talent lay far beneath his own. Even his most
famous ‘surprise’, in the eponymous symphony, played a role.
Griesinger writes:
I jokingly asked him once if it was true that he composed

the Andante … in order to wake up the dozing English
audience. ‘No … my intention was to surprise the public
with something new, and to debut in a brilliant manner, in
order to prevent my rank from being usurped by Pleyel, my
pupil …’
Another orchestral work of 1792 is the ‘Concertante’, a symphonie

concertante for violin, cello, oboe and bassoon and orchestra (given
on 9 March); it was composed in direct competition with Pleyel’s
most popular composition.
Page 32 of 607
On 10 April 1792 Haydn wrote to Prince Anton, informing him that
‘our concerts will be finished at the end of June, after which I shall
begin the journey home without delay, in order to serve my most
gracious prince and lord again’. He departed from London at the end
of June or beginning of July, travelling via Bonn (where he met
Beethoven) and Frankfurt. There is considerable evidence that he
intended to return for the 1793 season; in the event he did not until
1794. On 24 July 1792 he arrived in Vienna, occupying the same
lodgings as in the autumn of 1790. His 18 months in the Habsburg
capital were uneventful. Polzelli was in Italy (still asking for money),
and Mme Genzinger died on 20 January 1793. Haydn must have
been lonely when not absorbed in his work, a condition presumably
not ameliorated by his wife’s suggestion that they purchase a small
house in the suburb of Gumpendorf (not occupied until 1797; it is
now the Vienna Haydn Museum). Beethoven arrived in November,
and their intercourse began immediately; it included a stay at
Eisenstadt with Haydn in the summer of 1793. Haydn set him (like
all his students) to a systematic course of counterpoint on Fux’s
model, but had neither time nor inclination to correct the exercises
systematically, and Beethoven switched to Albrechtsberger. More
important to both composers was doubtless whatever comments
Haydn made about free composition, as well as shop-talk about
musical life and career-building (these seem to have been his chief
contribution to the training of his many ‘pupils’ during the 1790s).
By early winter he had decided not to return to London in 1793: he
had finally determined to undergo an operation for a long-painful
polyp in his nose, and perhaps he feared travelling at a dangerous
stage in the Napoleonic Wars. In any case it was to his advantage to
take an additional year, so as to be able to have new compositions in
his portfolio on his return.
In November 1792 Haydn produced 12 each of new minuets and

German dances (HIX:11–12) at a charity ball, and immediately
published them with Artaria. Keess had produced Symphonies nos.
95–6 in the winter of 1791–2; Haydn produced others himself on 15
March 1793, and again for the Tonkünstler-Societät in December,
where he also gave his choral ‘madrigal’ The Storm (HXXIVa:8) in a
revised version with a German text, possibly by Swieten. He began
the string quartets op.71/74 (a single opus of six) in late 1792 and
composed them mainly in 1793, with a view to producing them in
London. He also refined his sales methods: a nobleman (in this case
Count Anton Georg Apponyi) purchased the ‘dedication’ for 100
ducats, for which he received the exclusive right (in Vienna) to own a
manuscript copy and to perform the quartets until Haydn published
them (after one or two years), and was named as dedicatee on the
editions. Later in 1793 Haydn worked on three symphonies for
London, completing no.99 in E♭, the second and third movements of
no.100 in G (‘Military’) and all but the first movement of no.101 in D
(‘Clock’); he may also have begun the first set of English songs.
Another major composition from 1793 is the variations for piano in F
minor HXVII:6. On 19 January 1794 he departed for London,
accompanied by the former Esterházy copyist Johann Elssler, now
his amanuensis; they arrived on 5 February. On the way they stayed
in Passau, where he heard a choral arrangement of the Seven Last
Words by the local Kapellmeister, Joseph Friebert.
Page 33 of 607
The Professional Concert having disbanded, in 1794 Haydn and
Salomon had the stage to themselves. Symphony no.99 had its
première on 10 February 1794, no.101 on 3 March, no.100 on 31
March. In the summer Haydn travelled to Portsmouth, the Isle of
Wight, Bath and Bristol. For the 1795 season, however, Salomon
abandoned his concerts, owing to the difficulty of obtaining ‘vocal
performers of the first rank from abroad’ (he resumed them in
1796). Haydn therefore allied himself with the so-called Opera
Concerts, directed by the violinist and composer Giovanni Battista
Viotti, with an even larger orchestra, of approximately 60 players;
Symphony no.102 was first given on 2 February, no.103 (‘Drumroll’)
on 2 March, and no.104 – ‘The 12th which I have composed in
England’, Haydn wrote on the autograph, doubtless with more than
a touch of pride – at his benefit concert on 4 May. His success was
greater than ever; following the benefit, Burney wrote that his 1795
symphonies were ‘such as were never heard before, of any mortal’s
production; of what Apollo & the Muses compose or perform we can
only judge by such productions as these’. Another important work
given its première at this concert was the cantata Berenice, che fai
(HXXIVa:10), composed for the reigning prima donna, Brigida Giorgi
Banti.
Haydn’s compositions from 1794–5 are more heterogeneous than

those from 1791–2. He returned to piano music for the first time
since 1790, composing at least three sets of trios: HXV:18–20,
dedicated to Maria Therese Esterházy, the widow of Prince Anton;
21–3, dedicated to Maria Hermenegild, the wife of Anton’s successor
Prince Nicolaus II; and 24–6, dedicated to Mrs Schroeter. Nos.27–9
were dedicated to his friend Therese Jansen (b c1770), a celebrated
virtuoso who in 1795 married a son of the engraver Francesco
Bartolozzi (Haydn was a witness); it is unclear whether they date
from 1795 or 1796. He composed no.31 for Jansen as well: the finale
(1794) originated as an occasional piece titled ‘Jacob’s Dream!’,
designed to amuse her by showing up the insufficiencies of a self-
important violinist in the higher registers. He also composed sonatas
nos.50 and 52 for Jansen, and no.51 probably for Schroeter. Another
genre he took up again owing to the influence of a lady was the solo
song. The muse was Anne Hunter (1742–1821), another well-to-do
widow (of the famous surgeon John Hunter) and a minor poet, who
supplied the texts for at least nine of Haydn’s 14 songs in English;
12 appeared as two sets of Original Canzonettas in 1794–5. He also
composed numerous arias, divertimentos, marches, canons and
other works.
Haydn’s London visits were the highpoint of his career up to that

time. Griesinger reports that he earned 24,000 gulden and netted
13,000 (the equivalent of more than 20 years’ salary at the
Esterházy court), and that he ‘considered the days spent in England
the happiest of his life. He was everywhere appreciated there; it
opened a new world to him’. Whether he seriously contemplated
staying is not known; Prince Anton Esterházy had died in 1794,
freeing him from even a nominal obligation to the court, and the
royal family attempted to persuade him to remain. But the question
was settled when Anton’s successor, Nicolaus II, offered him
reappointment as Esterházy Kapellmeister. Although he remained in
London for two months following the end of the 1795 season,
Page 34 of 607
composing trios and canzonets and seeing to the publication of many
of his English compositions – he established new, long-term
relations, for example with the ‘musick seller’ F.A. Hyde, an agent
for Longman & Broderip, with whom he signed an elaborate contract
in 1796 – he departed (according to Dies) on 15 August, travelling
via Hamburg and Dresden and arriving in Vienna presumably around
the beginning of September. His new house still not being ready for
occupancy, he took lodgings on the Neuer Markt in the old city.
5. Vienna, 1795–1809.
James Webster
‘Haydn often said that he first became famous in Germany owing to

his reputation in England’ (Griesinger). From 1761 to 1790,
notwithstanding his fame as a composer and the brilliance of the
Esterházy court, he had been ‘stuck in the country’ (letter to Artaria,
17 May 1781); he could never be in Vienna for very long, his music
was not in favour at the imperial court and his relationship with the
Tonkünstler was strained. In 1795, by contrast, he returned as a
culture-hero. Many of his remaining works originated in
collaboration with the cultural-political establishment and were
staged as ‘events’ of social and ideological as well as musical import.
The key figure was Baron van Swieten, the imperial librarian and
censor and the resolutely high-minded leader of the Gesellschaft der
Associirten, an organization of noble patrons who subsidized large-
scale performances of oratorios and the like. In addition, Haydn’s
position as Esterházy Kapellmeister was far less onerous than
before. Nicolaus II largely abandoned Eszterháza in favour of Vienna
and Eisenstadt; Haydn’s primary duty was to supply a mass each
year for performance in conjunction with the celebration of the
nameday (8 September) of Maria Hermenegild, Nicolaus’s consort;
this took place in Eisenstadt, where he usually spent the summer.
As a result, Haydn’s compositional orientation changed

fundamentally. He composed little instrumental music: no orchestral
works save the Trumpet Concerto (1796) and only one piano work
(the trio no.30, 1796; nos.27–9 may have been completed then as
well); the only genre he actively cultivated was the string quartet,
with op.76 (completed 1797, dedicated to Count Joseph Erdődy;
published in 1799) and op.77 (1799, dedicated to Prince Joseph
Franz Lobkowitz; published in 1802). Instead, he devoted himself
primarily to sacred vocal music: masses for Esterházy and oratorios
for Vienna. Both the Missa Sancti Bernardi von Offida (Heiligmesse)
and the Missa in tempore belli (Paukenmesse) are dated 1796; the
former was apparently composed first and performed in Eisenstadt,
while the latter originated in the autumn and was first given at the
Piaristenkirche in Vienna on 26 December, then produced in
Eisenstadt in 1797. There followed the Missa in angustiis (commonly
known as the ‘Nelson Mass’) in 1798, the Theresienmesse in 1799,
the Schöpfungsmesse in 1801 and the Harmoniemesse in 1802;
thereafter this office was fulfilled by other composers, including
Page 35 of 607
Hummel and, in 1807, Beethoven. The absence of new masses in
1797 and 1800 doubtless reflects Haydn’s intense work on The
Creation and The Seasons, respectively, during those two years.
Haydn’s collaboration with Swieten began in early 1796 with an

arrangement of the Seven Last Words as a kind of oratorio: more
precisely, a reworking of Friebert’s arrangement (see §4). He added
chorale-like a cappella intonations preceding most of the ‘words’ and
a wind band introduction to the second part, rewrote the choral
parts and revised the orchestration; Swieten revised the text and
arranged for the première at the Schwarzenberg Palace, on 26–7
March. Haydn produced it often thereafter, usually for the benefit of
the Tonkünstler-Societät. In 1797 that organization finally made up
for its earlier neglect: on 20 January, a letter signed by Salieri and
Paul Wranitzky granted Haydn free admission to all their concerts
for life, and on 11 December he was elected a ‘senior assessor’ in
perpetuity.
An overtly political composition was the ‘Emperor’s Hymn’, Gott

erhalte Franz den Kaiser, from winter 1796–7. Although one later
account has Swieten manipulating things, the immediate impetus
came from Count Joseph Franz Saurau, the president of Lower
Austria and later Minister of the Interior:
I have often regretted that unlike the English we had no

national anthem suited to display before the entire world
the devoted attachment of the people to their Landesvater
… This seemed especially necessary at a time when the
Revolution in France was raging at its strongest …
I had a text fashioned by the worthy poet [Lorenz Leopold]

Haschka; and to have it set to music, I turned to our
immortal compatriot Haydn, who, I felt, was the only man
capable of creating something that could be placed at the
side of … ‘God Save the King’.
Haydn identified thoroughly with the cultural politics of this project.

In late January 1797 the hymn was hastily printed and disseminated,
and performed in theatres throughout the Habsburg realm on the
emperor’s birthday, 12 February. This ‘Volkslied’, as he called it,
combined hymnlike and popular elements so successfully that it
became the anthem of both Austria and Germany. Later in 1797 he
employed the melody as the basis for the variation movement in the
String Quartet op.76 no.3, and in his last years he played it daily at
the piano.
But Haydn and Swieten were already pursuing bigger game. On

Haydn’s departure from England Salomon had given him a libretto
(now lost) entitled The Creation of the World, supposedly written for
Handel but never set to music. Back in Vienna, Haydn showed it to
Swieten: ‘I recognized at once that such an exalted subject would
give Haydn the opportunity I had long desired, to show the whole
compass of his profound accomplishments and to express the full
power of his inexhaustible genius’; the emphasized phrase implies
that Swieten’s purpose was not artistic alone, but cultural-political
as well. The Associirten guaranteed Haydn 500 ducats and
Page 36 of 607
subsidized the copying and performance. Haydn, whose enthusiasm
for the project was bound up with his experience of Handel in
London, conceived the remarkable notion of disseminating the work
in both German and English (it is apparently the first original
bilingual composition). Swieten translated the libretto and adapted
the English prosody to his German version; he also made
suggestions regarding the musical setting, many of which Haydn
adopted. He began the composition apparently in autumn 1796
(Albrechtsberger wrote to Beethoven in December that he had heard
him ‘improvise’ from it); it was at least half done by summer 1797
and according to F.S. Silverstolpe (see Stellan Mörner, E1969) was
completed during the autumn, in Eisenstadt, although the
preparation of performance materials (which entailed revisions)
lasted up to March 1798.
The Associirten at first produced the work only in private, again at

the Schwarzenberg Palace; following a ‘Generalprobe’ on 29 April
the official première took place on the 30th, with additional
performances on 7 and 10 May. The effect was overwhelming;
Silverstolpe reported:
No one, not even Baron van Swieten, had seen the page of
the score wherein the Creation of Light is portrayed …
Haydn had the expression of someone who is thinking of
biting his tongue, either to hide his embarrassment or to
conceal a secret. And in that moment when Light broke
forth for the first time, one would have said that light-rays
darted from the composer’s blazing eyes. The enchantment
of the electrified Viennese was so profound that the
performers could not proceed for some minutes.
The first public performance took place on 19 March 1799, at the

Burgtheater, with a complement of about 180 performers (not 400,
as has been speculated); a benefit for the Tonkünstler followed on 22
December. The work immediately became a staple especially of
charity performances, many conducted by Haydn himself, which
brought in tens of thousands of gulden. ‘I know that God has
favoured me’, he said to Griesinger, ‘but the world may as well know
that I have been no useless member of society, and that one can also
do good by means of music’. Beyond this, The Creation ‘made
history’ immediately and on a pan-European scale in a way equalled
by no other composition, owing to its fortunate combination of
sublime subject, cultural-historical ‘moment’ on the cusp between
Enlightenment and Romanticism, appeal to both high-minded and
ordinary listeners, Haydn’s unrivalled stature and the originality and
grandeur of his music. His pride in and personal identification with
the work, in addition to his usual concern for financial advantage,
induced him to publish it himself, selling it ‘by subscription’ all over
Europe, with the assistance of colleagues such as Dr Burney; his
advertisement (June 1799) reads:
Page 37 of 607
The success which my Oratorio The Creation has been
fortunate enough to enjoy … [has] induced me to arrange
for its dissemination myself. Thus the work will appear …
neatly and correctly engraved and printed on good paper,
with German and English texts; and in full score, so that [at
least] one work of my composition will be available to the
public in its entirety, and the connoisseur will be in a
position to see it as a whole and to judge it.
The edition appeared at the end of February 1800 with a list of more
than 400 subscribers.
By spring 1799 Haydn and Swieten were planning a second oratorio,

The Seasons, with a libretto based on James Thomson’s pastoral epic
of 1726–8; Haydn composed the music apparently from autumn 1799
to the end of 1800. He suffered a serious illness in winter 1800–01,
as the work neared completion, during which he again identified
with his own oratorio. His pupil Sigismund Ritter von Neukomm
reported:
Speaking of the penultimate aria, ‘Behold, O weak and

foolish man, Behold the picture of thy life’ … he said: ‘This
aria refers to me!’ And in this wonderful masterpiece he
really did speak entirely from his inmost soul, so much so
that he became seriously ill while composing it, and … the
Lord … allowed him to see ‘his life’s image and his open
grave’.
The private première at the Schwarzenberg Palace took place on 24

April 1801, the first public production on 19 May. Although the
initial reception of The Seasons was favourable – Haydn wrote to
Clementi that it had enjoyed ‘unanimous approval’ and that ‘many
prefer it to The Creation, because of its greater variety’ – critical
opinion soon became mixed, owing in part to its perceived ‘lower’
subject, in part to a growing aesthetic resistance to its many
pictorialisms. Haydn himself contributed to both strands of criticism:
he supposedly said to Francis II, ‘In The Creation angels speak and
tell of God, but in The Seasons only Simon speaks’ (Dies); and he
indiscreetly criticized Swieten’s croaking frogs (‘Frenchified trash’)
and the absurdity of a choral hymn to toil (Fleiss). Nonetheless he
maintained that it would join The Creation in assuring his lasting
fame. For the publication he took the path of lesser resistance,
selling the rights to Breitkopf & Härtel.
Other than masses, Haydn’s only important liturgical work from this
period is the Te Deum ‘for the Empress’ (HXXIIIc:2), probably
composed in 1800 and apparently first given in September in
Eisenstadt, perhaps in conjunction with the visit there of Lord
Nelson (whence the nickname ‘Nelson Mass’ for the Missa in
angustiis). A very different kind of vocal composition is represented
by the 13 partsongs (HXXV), composed in the years 1796–9. A
number of lieder and canons date from the same years; the latter
were also ‘private’ works, the autographs of which Haydn framed
and mounted on the walls of his house. A chapter in its own right is
the hundreds of arrangements of British folksongs he sold to the
Page 38 of 607
publisher George Thomson in Edinburgh, not all from his own pen;
as in so many other respects, Beethoven followed him in this
lucrative commission.
In 1799 Haydn began to complain of physical and mental weakness.

He wrote to Härtel in June:
Every day the world compliments me on the fire of my

recent works, but no one will believe the strain and effort it
costs me to produce them. Some days my enfeebled memory
and the unstrung state of my nerves crush me to the earth
to such an extent that I fall prey to the worst sort of
depression, and am quite incapable of finding even a single
idea for many days thereafter; until at last Providence
revives me, and I can again sit down at the pianoforte and
begin to scratch away.
Indeed his productivity began to decline about this time, although

his music continued to gain in ‘fire’ and cogency as long as he
continued to compose. His last major completed work was the
Harmoniemesse given in September 1802; there followed only
(perhaps) the ‘Hungarian National March’ (HVIII:4; referred to in a
letter of November) and the unfinished String Quartet op.103 of
1802–3, originally intended to go with op.77 to complete an opus of
three (published 1806, dedicated to Count Moritz von Fries). He
deeply regretted his loss of the stamina and concentration necessary
for composition. On 6 December 1802 he thanked Pleyel for the
receipt of the latter’s edition of his complete string quartets, adding:
‘I only wish that I could have back 10 years of my advanced age, so
that I could provide you with something new of my composition –
perhaps – despite everything – it can still happen’; a draft or
alternative version (printed by Griesinger) of the letter to Härtel
quoted above includes the passage: ‘It is almost as if with the
decline in my mental powers, my desire and compulsion to work
increase. O God! how much remains to be done in this glorious art,
even by such a man as I have been!’ One inevitably thinks of
Beethoven, who would soon prove him right: their relationship was
difficult around the years 1798–1803, owing to Beethoven’s ‘anxiety
of influence’ vis-à-vis Haydn, the crisis of his deafness, Haydn’s
increasing frailty and their mutual ambivalence regarding
Beethoven’s eventual assumption of the mantle of greatest living
composer.
In the same letter Haydn also complained about the press of

business (he was then arranging the self-publication of The
Creation). Härtel added to that burden by initiating negotiations
towards the publication of the so-called Oeuvres complettes (1800–
06). This was not a complete edition but comprised salable works for
or with piano, analogous to an edition of Mozart already under way.
In this connection Härtel sent Haydn a list of compositions
attributed to him, asking him to pronounce on their authorship;
Haydn (rather casually) did so. This was the first of several
initiatives that led to Haydn’s and Elssler’s production in 1805 of the
Page 39 of 607
comprehensive ‘Catalogue of all those compositions that I
approximately recall having composed from my 18th to my 73rd
year’, or ‘Haydn-Verzeichnis’.
In 1800 Haydn’s wife died, leaving much of her modest estate to

him. No longer interested in marriage, he signed a declaration in
which he promised to marry Luigia Polzelli or no-one, as well as to
bequeath her 300 gulden a year (a sum he later reduced to 150). In
May–June 1801 he drew up his will; the largest bequests were to his
two brothers, but he also included among the beneficiaries many
other relatives, former benefactors (and perhaps lovers), servants,
religious and charitable institutions. From 1800 on he received a
steady stream of distinguished visitors, honours and medals of which
a gold medal from and honorary citizenship of the City of Vienna, in
recognition of his charitable performances, meant the most to him.
He also continued to talk shop with younger musicians; in addition
to Pleyel and Beethoven, those who benefited included Anton
Wranitzky, Neukomm, Reicha, Eybler, Weigl, Seyfried, Hummel,
Diabelli, Kalkbrenner and Weber.
Haydn’s last public musical function was on 26 December 1803,

when he conducted the Seven Last Words. Thereafter he mainly
stayed at home in Gumpendorf; after 1805 he wrote no letters in his
own hand. His youngest brother Johann died in Eisenstadt in that
year, and Michael (who in 1801–2 had declined an invitation to
succeed him as Esterházy Kapellmeister) followed in 1806. His last
public appearance of any kind was on 27 March 1808, at a gala
performance of The Creation in honour of his 76th birthday, in the
Great Hall of the University. He signed his last will on 7 February
1809, altered primarily to reflect the many deaths that had taken
place in the meantime. It disbursed about 24,000 gulden; his estate
totalled about 55,000 gulden. During the spring he progressively
weakened and had to be cared for by Elssler and other servants. His
final decline was hastened by the French bombardment of Vienna on
11–12 May; Napoleon ordered that a guard of honour be stationed at
his house, and his last known visitor was a French officer who paid
his respects and sang an aria from The Creation. After playing the
‘Emperor’s Hymn’ on 26 May ‘with such expression and taste that
our good Papa was astonished about it himself … and was very
pleased’ (Elssler), he had to be assisted to bed; he did not rise again.
He died at about 20 minutes before 1 a.m. on 31 May; owing to the
war only a simple burial was possible, the following afternoon. On 15
June a solemn memorial service was held in the Schottenkirche, with
a performance of Mozart’s Requiem. His remains are now interred in
the Bergkirche in Eisenstadt.
6. Character and personality.

James Webster
The traditional image of Haydn’s personality has been that of ‘Papa

Haydn’: pious, good-humoured, concerned for the welfare of others,
proud of his students, regular in habits, conservative. Although not
inaccurate, it is one-sided; it reflects the elderly and increasingly
Page 40 of 607
frail man his first biographers knew. Insight into the personality and
behaviour of the vigorous and productive composer, performer,
Kapellmeister, impresario, businessman, conqueror of London,
husband and lover, whose career had already spanned 50 years
when Griesinger met him in 1799, must be inferred from his
correspondence (which is more revealing than is usually assumed)
and from other sources.
Haydn’s public life exemplified the Enlightenment ideal of the

honnête homme: the man whose good character and worldly success
enable and justify each other. His modesty and probity were
everywhere acknowledged (he was occasionally entrusted with
secret diplomatic communications). These traits were not only
prerequisites to his success as Kapellmeister, entrepreneur and
public figure, but also aided the favourable reception of his music. A
more appropriate sense of ‘Papa’ would be that of ‘patriarch’, as in
the resolution making him a life member of the Tonkünstler-Societät
in 1797, ‘by virtue of his extraordinary merit as the father and
reformer of the noble art of music’. The many younger musicians
who benefited from his teaching and advice, as well as the court
performers whom he directed, seem to have regarded him as a
father-figure, or kindly uncle; he was well disposed towards them
and helped them as he could, although there is little evidence that
he thought of them as substitutes for the children he (apparently)
never had.
When conditions permitted (i.e. in Vienna and London) Haydn

enjoyed a rich emotional and intellectual life. In addition to his
intimate relationships with Polzelli, Genzinger and Schroeter, he
developed warm friendships with Mozart and Albrechtsberger; with
Burney, Dr and Mrs Hunter and Therese Jansen; with an unnamed
man to whom he wrote from Vienna in December 1792 (in English),
playing the role of honorary godchild: ‘I rejoice very much that my
handsome and good Mother Susana has changed her state … I wish
from all my heart, that my Dear Mother may at my arrival next year
present me a fine little Brother or Sister’; with ‘my dear’ Nancy
Storace and ‘my very dearest’ Nanette Bayer (a ‘great genius’ of a
pianist, employed by Count Apponyi) and many others. His
observations in the London Notebooks reveal an active interest in
every aspect of social life and culture, ‘high’ and ‘low’ alike. He was
interested in literature, art and philosophy and gladly circulated and
corresponded with intellectuals and freemasons, albeit without
pretensions to being an intellectual himself.
Haydn’s character was marked by a duality between earnestness

and humour. F.S. Silverstolpe, who saw much of him during the
composition of The Creation, reported:
Page 41 of 607
I discovered in Haydn as it were two physiognomies. One
was penetrating and serious, when he talked about anything
sublime, and the mere word ‘sublime’ was enough to excite
his feelings to visible animation. In the next moment this air
of exaltation was chased away as fast as lightning by his
usual mood, and he became jovial with a force that was
visible in his features and even passed into drollery. The
latter was his usual physiognomy; the former had to be
induced.
The many anecdotes about Haydn’s youthful propensity to practical

joking, however implausible individually, must collectively reflect
some reality. Griesinger found that ‘a guileless roguery, or what the
British call humour, was one of Haydn’s outstanding characteristics’.
But he was also a devout Catholic: he inscribed most of his
autographs ‘In nomine Domini’ at the head and ‘Laus Deo’ at the
end, and composed major works in honour of the Virgin, including
the Stabat mater, the Salve regina in G minor, and the Missa
Cellensis and ‘Great Organ Mass’. His most important instrumental
work of the 1780s was arguably the Seven Last Words. He identified
personally with The Creation and the religious portions of The
Seasons and came to think of the former in overtly moralistic terms,
as he wrote in 1801:
The [story of the] Creation has always been considered the

sublimest and most awe-inspiring image for mankind. To
accompany this great work with appropriate music could
certainly have no other result than to heighten these sacred
emotions in the listener’s heart, and to make him highly
receptive to the goodness and omnipotence of the Creator.
Haydn’s personality was more complex than has usually been

thought. His marriage was unhappy, and he was often lonely and at
times melancholy. In May 1790 he wrote to Mme Genzinger: ‘I beg
Your Grace not to shy away from comforting me by your pleasant
letters, for they cheer me up in my isolation, and are highly
necessary for my heart, which is often very deeply hurt’. Nor was it
only a question of his physical and social isolation at Eszterháza;
from London he wrote to Polzelli of his ‘melanconia’ in much the
same terms.
His modesty, genuine though it was, had distinct limits. He took

pride in his works, notably including his vocal music; he wrote to
Artaria in October 1781:
My lieder, through their variety, naturalness, and beautiful

and grateful melodies, will perhaps surpass all others …
Now something from Paris: Mr leGros … wrote me all sorts
of nice things about my Stabat mater, which was given … to
the greatest applause … They were surprised that I was so
extraordinarily successful in vocal music; but I wasn’t
surprised at all, for they haven’t heard anything yet. If they
could only hear … my most recent opera La fedeltà
premiata! I assure [you] that nothing comparable has yet
been heard in Paris, and perhaps not even in Vienna.

Haydn prized his status as an original (see §7); he bluntly rejected
the notion that Sammartini might have been an influence on his
early string quartets, adding (to Griesinger) that he acknowledged
only C.P.E. Bach as a model. He was sensitive to criticism: he
resented north Germans’ rejection of his stylistic mixture (which
seemed to them a breach of decorum), was jealous of Joseph II’s
patronage of inferior composers such as Leopold Hofmann (whose
‘Gassenlieder’ in particular he intended to surpass), and railed
against those who pointed out technical flaws such as parallel 5ths
in his late music. He took pains to forestall potential criticism of the
similar beginnings of the sonatas HXVI:36/ii and 39/i by printing a
prefatory note asserting that he had done this deliberately, ‘in order
to show different methods of realization’. After Mozart’s death he
willingly accepted the role of greatest living composer; in London he
actively defended his ‘rank’ against Pleyel’s challenge. Despite his
grateful dependence on Swieten for librettos and patronage by the
Associirten, behind Swieten’s back he gibed that his symphonies
were ‘as stiff as the man himself’ and ridiculed the libretto of The
Seasons. His despair at no longer being able to compose after 1802
was doubtless fuelled in part by resentment at Beethoven’s success
in pushing forward into new domains of music – domains that he
believed would have lain open to him if only his health had not
failed.
Although Haydn often protested his devotion to the Esterházy

princes, ‘in whose service I wish to live and die’ (1776), and praised
Nicolaus for providing the conditions under which his art could
develop, his attitude towards the court was never subservient and
over time became increasingly ambivalent. He did not hesitate to
assert his interests and those of his musicians against the court
administration: these interventions were usually successful
(including, for example, re-engaging Polzelli and her husband and
keeping them on the payroll for ten years). The relationship between
Nicolaus and Haydn was not merely that of prince and employee:
their playing baryton trios together (Haydn presumably on the viola)
was by definition intimate music-making, and according to Framery
the composer had to restore the prince from attacks of depression
(Haydn himself described this in March 1790, admittedly during
Nicolaus’s bereavement). After 1780 he became increasingly
independent of the court both compositionally and financially, and he
hated having to abandon the artistic and social pleasures of Vienna
for distant Eszterháza. After Nicolaus’s death he was de facto a free
artist. In a letter of September 1791 to Mme Genzinger his
ambivalence is palpable:
Page 43 of 607
This little bit of freedom, how sweet it tastes! I had a good
prince, but at times I was forced to be dependent on base
souls. I often sighed for release; now I have it in some
measure … Even though I am burdened with more work, the
knowledge that I am not bound to service makes ample
amends for all my toil. And yet, dear though this freedom is
to me, I long to be in Prince Esterházy’s service on my
return, if only for the sake of my poor family. However, I
doubt that this longing can be satisfied, in that my prince …
absolutely demands my immediate return, which however I
cannot comply with, owing to a new contract I have entered
into here.
Indeed, London won out. Yet in 1795 he was glad to become

Kapellmeister again – although only on condition of minimal duties.
As regards money, Haydn was so self-interested as to shock both

certain high-minded contemporaries (Joseph Martin Kraus, Friedrich
Rochlitz) and many later authorities. Whereas until 1749 he
presumably suffered nothing worse than ordinary schoolboy
privations, during his early freelance years he lived in poverty, an
experience he was determined never to repeat. He always attempted
to maximize his income, whether by negotiating the right to sell his
music outside the Esterházy court, driving hard bargains with
publishers or selling his works three and four times over; he
regularly engaged in ‘sharp practice’ and occasionally in outright
fraud. When crossed in business relations, he reacted angrily. At
times his protestations of straitened circumstances were mendacious
(as when denying Polzelli’s requests for money), or perhaps self-
deceptive. Yet Haydn was generous. He supported his brother
Johann for decades and bequeathed substantial sums to relatives,
servants and those who had supported him in his youth, and took
pride in the large sums generated for charity by performances of his
oratorios.
Haydn’s appearance is known from various descriptions and from

many paintings and busts. He was not handsome; he was ‘small in
stature, but sturdily and strongly built. His forehead was broad and
well modelled, his skin brownish, his eyes lively and fiery, his other
features full and strongly marked, and his whole physiognomy and
bearing bespoke prudence and a quiet gravity’ (Griesinger); but he
also had an overlarge nose, exacerbated by his long-term polyp, and
was pock-marked (Dies). Of the many contemporary images only a
few avoid idealizing their subject. From about 1768 there is a
portrait by Grundmann, the Esterházy court painter, showing the
young and self-assertive Kapellmeister in uniform. More
conventional in both facial features and the pose at the keyboard are
the various images based on a lost painting of uncertain date by
Guttenbrunn (fig.2; Haydn’s wife and Griesinger claimed that it was
a good likeness) and the engraving by Mansfield (1781) published by
Artaria. There is a good miniature from about 1788. From London
we have formal portraits by Hoppner and Hardy, of which the former
has the more personality; still more is conveyed in the drawing by
George Dance (in two versions), which Haydn claimed was the best
Page 44 of 607
likeness of himself. Several sculptures survive from the last Vienna
years, including two busts by Grassi; there is also a deathmask,
taken by Elssler.
7. Style, aesthetics, compositional method.

James Webster
Haydn’s style was understood in his own day as unique. He famously

commented to Griesinger:
My prince was satisfied with all my works; I received

approval. As head of an orchestra I could try things out,
observe what creates a [good] effect and what weakens it,
and thus revise, make additions or cuts, take risks. I was cut
off from the world, nobody in my vicinity could upset my
self-confidence or annoy me, and so I had no choice but to
become original.
By ‘original’ he seems to have meant that he belonged to no school

and acknowledged few if any models. However, in late 18th-century
aesthetics originality also implied genius, a link emphasized among
others by Kant.
In many ways Haydn’s style can be understood as analogous to the

duality in his personality between earnestness and humour. He said
as much when referring to his method of composition: ‘I sat down [at
the keyboard] and began to fantasize, according to whether my
mood was sad or happy, serious or trifling’. Of course, in his music
these qualities are not unmediated binary opposites but poles of a
continuum. Admittedly, since about 1800 wit has been the better
understood pole. Johann Karl Friedrich Triest wrote (1801) of his
‘unmistakable manner’: ‘what the English call “humour”, for which
the German Laune does not quite provide an exact equivalent’.
Haydn’s ‘unique’ or ‘inimitable’ Laune was a frequent motif in
contemporary criticism. Most of the familiar nicknames for his works
respond to features that listeners have taken as humorous; e.g. the
‘Surprise’ Symphony or the ‘Joke’ Quartet op.33 no.2. In other cases
the wit is on a higher plane, e.g. the ‘ticking’ accompaniment in the
slow movement of the ‘Clock’ Symphony, no.101. The crucial point,
however, is that Haydn’s popular style is not a simple projection of
his personality, but his compositional ‘persona’ or ‘musical
personality’, deliberately assumed for complex artistic purposes.
Indeed ‘wit’ signifies intelligence as well as humour: his
inexhaustible rhythmic and motivic inventiveness, the conversational
air of many quartet movements, his formal ambiguity and caprice,
his brilliant and at times disquieting play with beginnings that are
endings and the reverse (the ‘Joke’ Quartet ending has stimulated
half a dozen learned exegeses). Often Haydn’s wit shades into irony,
as was recognized by his contemporaries: ‘Haydn might perhaps be
compared, in respect to the fruitfulness of his imagination, with our
Jean Paul [Richter] (omitting, obviously, his chaotic design;
transparent representation (lucidus ordo) is not the least of Haydn’s
virtues); or, in respect to his humour, his original wit (vis comica)
Page 45 of 607
with Lor. Sterne’ (Triest). In fact, his irony goes beyond wit: a
passage may be deceptive in character or function (the D major
interlude in the first movement of the ‘Farewell’ Symphony sounds
like a minuet out of context, but it is not a minuet and plays a crucial
tonal and psychological role), or a movement may systematically
subvert listeners’ expectations until (or even past) the end (the finale
of the Quartet op.54 no.2). Like Beethoven, Haydn often seems to
problematize music rather than merely to compose it (the tonal
ambiguity at the beginning of op.33 no.1).
Earnestness and depth of feeling are equally important to Haydn’s

art. These qualities were less appreciated in the 19th and early 20th
centuries, owing in part to the absence of his vocal music and much
of his earlier instrumental music from the standard repertory, in part
to a lack of sympathy for his extra-musical and ethical concerns
during the age of absolute music. But Griesinger reported: ‘Haydn
said that instead of so many quartets, sonatas and symphonies he
should have composed more vocal music, for he could have become
one of the leading opera composers’. Until about 1800 vocal music
was as responsible for his reputation as instrumental; Gerber wrote
in 1790: ‘around the year 1780 he attained the highest level of
excellence and fame through his church and theatre works’. Like all
18th-century composers, Haydn believed that the primary purpose of
a composition was to move the listener, and that the chief basis of
this effect was song. He was an excellent tenor in the chamber (if
not the theatre). He insisted to Griesinger that a prerequisite for
good music was ‘fluent melody’, and he ‘criticized the fact that now
so many musicians compose who have never learnt how to sing:
“Singing must almost be reckoned one of the lost arts; instead of
song, people allow the instruments to dominate”.
This emphasis on feeling also applies to instrumental music – even

sprightly allegros and minuets – and throughout Haydn’s career.
Much of his early music is earnest, at times even harsh; see the
keyboard Trio HXV:f1, the String Trio HV:3, the slow movement of
the String Quartet op.2 no.4, Symphony no.22 and much else, to say
nothing of vocal works such as the Stabat mater and the Salve
regina in G minor. Many of his keyboard works are affective in an
intimate way: he wrote to Mme Genzinger regarding the Adagio of
Sonata no.49: ‘It means a great deal, which I will analyse for you
when I have the chance’. His orchestral music ‘signified’ as well: the
slow introductions to the London symphonies are implicit
invocations of the sublime, and this topic became overt in the Chaos–
Light sequence in The Creation and elsewhere in his late sacred
vocal music. Many works that were later taken as humorous he did
not intend as such, for example the ‘Farewell’ Symphony. Similarly,
even at his wittiest or most programmatic he never abandons tonal
and formal coherence.
The duality between earnestness and wit is analogous to the 18th-

century distinctions between connoisseurs (‘Kenner’) and amateurs
(‘Liebhaber’), and between traditional or learned and modern or
galant style. These dualities characterize many of Haydn’s works,
groups of works and even entire periods. In his pre-Esterházy
instrumental music, genre was a primary determinant of style:
modest, unpretentious divertimentos, quartets and keyboard
Page 46 of 607
concertinos etc. stand seemingly opposed to larger-scale
symphonies, string trios and keyboard trios. The three op.20
quartets with fugal finales project, in order of composition, severe
tradition (no.5), the galant (no.6) and a studied mixture of both (no.
2); yet these monuments to high art originated precisely in the
middle of his baryton-trio decade. In the late 1770s most of his
symphonies were unambiguously intended as entertainment, but no.
70 is selfconsciously learned. In 1785–90 he composed some 45
weighty symphonies, quartets and piano works, but also lyre
concertos and notturnos, flute trios and other light works. Of course,
the distinction between ‘art’ and ‘entertainment’ cannot be
simplistically correlated with differences in artistic quality. Haydn’s
early string quartets are arguably his most polished pre-Esterházy
works; the baryton trios and lyre notturnos are finely wrought
compositions, as rewarding in their way as the raw expressionism of
the ‘Sturm und Drang’. These stylistic dualities are found even in his
late sacred vocal music and long hindered its appreciation. His
quotation of the buffa-like contredanse from no.32 of The Creation in
the Schöpfungsmesse so offended the empress that she insisted that
he alter it in performances at the Habsburg court, many of her high-
minded contemporaries took offence at the ‘Tändeleien’ (trifling) and
dance-like triple metres in his late masses, and as recently as the
1970s noted authorities still wrote of the ‘triviality’ of the Kyrie of
the Missa in tempore belli. Now, however, their stylistic heterodoxy
seems as gloriously uplifting as that of Die Zauberflöte.
Haydn usually juxtaposes or contrasts stylistic dualities rather than

synthesize them. Perhaps he approaches synthesis most closely
when an ostensibly artless or humorous theme later changes in
character (e.g. Symphony no.103, minuet) or is subjected to
elaborate contrapuntal development; the latter is especially
characteristic of finales (e.g. Symphony no.99; Beethoven twice
copied out the development section). In general, Haydn’s art is
based on the traditional principle of variety within unity. ‘Once I had
seized upon an idea’, he said to Griesinger, ‘my whole endeavour
was to develop and sustain it in keeping with the rules of the art’. A
Haydn movement works out a single basic idea; the ‘second theme’
of his sonata forms is often a variant of the opening theme. Often
this part of the exposition forswears thematic statements altogether,
in favour of unstable developmental passages (his ‘expansion
section’); stability is restored only in the position of the usual closing
theme. To be sure, that working out usually entails many contrasting
treatments and effects (Haydn: ‘light and shade’, i.e. chiaroscuro):
the second theme usually differs in treatment, and the recapitulation
brings fresh developments; in his double-variation slow movements
the alternating major and minor themes are usually variants of each
other. Thus both novelty and continuity are maintained from
beginning to end.
In one respect, however, Haydn deliberately courted a union of

opposites: his ‘popular’ style that simultaneously addressed the
connoisseur. ‘If one wanted to describe the character of Haydn’s
compositions in just two words, they would be … artful popularity or
popular (easily comprehensible, effective) artfulness’ (Triest). No
other composer – not even C.P.E. Bach or Mozart – had Haydn’s gift
of writing ostensibly simple or folklike tunes of wide appeal, and
Page 47 of 607
broadly humorous sallies, that concealed (or developed into) the
highest art. Indeed these aspects of his style intensified in his
London and late Vienna years, along with the complexity of his music
and its fascination for connoisseurs. One of the best early comments
on Haydn’s music was Gerber’s: he ‘possessed the great art of
appearing familiar in his themes’ (emphasis added): that is, their
popular character is neither merely given nor a direct reflection of
his personality, but the result of calculated artistic shaping. This
becomes obvious when he employs folk tunes, as in the Andante of
Symphony no.103 and the finale of no.104: the piquant raised fourth-
degree of the one, the horn pedal of the other, are not quoted, but
adapted to the character of a grand symphony. Haydn’s ‘pretension
… to a simplicity that appears to come from Nature itself is no mask
but the true claim of a style whose command over the whole range of
technique is so great that it can ingenuously afford to disdain the
outward appearance of high art’ (Rosen, I1971).
Many aspects of Haydn’s music can be appreciated only by ignoring

the concept of ‘Classical style’. These include lean orchestration
(Haydn: ‘no superfluous ornaments, nothing overdone, no deafening
accompaniments’), in which the planes of sound do not compactly
blend but remain distinct, nervous bass lines, constant motivic-
thematic development and a rhythmic vitality and unpredictability
that can become almost manic, as in the finales of many late string
quartets and piano trios. Many Haydn movements are progressive in
form, continually developing (e.g. the first movements of
Symphonies nos.92 and 103); on a still larger scale, many works
exhibit tendencies towards through-composition or ‘cyclic’
organization; a few are as tightly integrated as any work of
Beethoven (e.g. the ‘Farewell’ Symphony and no.46; the string
quartets op.20 no.2, op.54 no.2 and op.74 no.3; Piano Sonata no.30).

11. Title-page of Haydn’s ‘Erdődy’ Quartets op.76 (Vienna: Artaria,
1799)
Haydn was also a master of rhetoric. This is a matter not only of

musical ‘topoi’ and rhetorical ‘figures’ but also of contrasts in
register, gestures, implications of genre and the rhythms of
destabilization and recovery, especially as these play out over the
course of an entire movement. Referential associations are common
in his instrumental music, especially symphonies (nos.6–8, 22, 26,
30–31, 44–5, 49, 60, 64, 73, 100); they invoke serious human and
cultural issues, including religious belief, war, pastoral, the times of
day, longing for home, ethnic identity and the hunt. Haydn told
Griesinger and Dies that he ‘often portrayed moral characters in his
symphonies’ and that one early Adagio presented ‘a dialogue
Page 49 of 607
between God and a foolish sinner’ (unidentified; perhaps from no.7,
22 or 26). In his vocal music Haydn (like Handel) was a brilliant and
enthusiastic word-painter. This trait is but one aspect of his musical
imagery in general: in addition to rhetorical figures and ‘topoi’ it
comprises key associations (e.g. E♭ with the hereafter), semantic
associations (e.g. the flute with the pastoral) and musical
conceptualizations (e.g. long notes on ‘E-wigkeit’ in The Creation or
‘ae-ter-num’ in the late Te Deum).
Like all 18th-century composers, Haydn composed for his audiences

(which term includes his performers). He calculated Piano Sonata
no.49 expressly for Mme Genzinger; in his piano works of 1794–6 he
systematically differentiated between a difficult, extroverted style
for Therese Jansen and a less demanding, intimate one for Rebecca
Schroeter. Regarding the Piano Trio HXV:13 he wrote to Artaria: ‘I
send you herewith the third trio, which I have rewritten with
variations, to suit your taste’ – i.e. Artaria’s estimate of the taste of
Haydn’s market. When he went to London, his music for public
performance became grander and more brilliant. He disliked having
to compose without knowing his audience, as he wrote regarding
Applausus: ‘If I have perhaps not divined the taste of [the
musicians], I am not to be blamed for this; neither the persons nor
the place are known to me, and the fact that they were concealed
from me truly made my work distasteful’.
‘I was never a hasty writer, and always composed with deliberation

and diligence’, Haydn told Griesinger. His method encompassed
three stages: ‘phantasieren’ at the keyboard in order to find a viable
idea (see above), ‘komponieren’ (working out the musical substance,
both at the keyboard and by means of shorthand drafts, usually on
one or two staves) and ‘setzen’ (writing the full score). Sketching
was a regular procedure: although drafts survive for only a modest
proportion of his music, they comprise works in all genres and all
types of musical context (including recitatives). A draft for the finale
of Symphony no.99 confirms Griesinger’s description of his use of
numbered cross-references to organize a series of passages
originally written down in a different order. His surviving autographs
by and large are fair copies, which exhibit few corrections and
alterations.
8. Sacred vocal music.

James Webster
Vocal music constitutes fully half of Haydn’s output. Both his first
and last completed compositions were mass settings, and he
cultivated sacred vocal music extensively throughout his career
except during the later 1780s, when elaborate church music was
inhibited by the Josephinian reforms, and the first half of the 1790s
in London.
The Missa brevis in F (HXXII:1) is apparently his earliest surviving

composition; on rediscovering it in old age he pronounced himself
pleased by ‘the melody and a certain youthful fire’ (Dies), which are
enhanced by resourceful contrasts between the two solo sopranos
Page 50 of 607
and the chorus. The remaining masses fall into two groups of six
each: nos.2, 4–8 (1766–82; no.3 is probably spurious) and nos.9–14
(1796–1802); except where noted they are of medium length (30 to
40 minutes). The former are notably heterogeneous. The huge and
impressive Missa Cellensis in C (begun 1766) is of the solenne type
(often miscalled ‘cantata mass’); each of the five main sections is
subdivided into numerous complete and independent movements.
These include choruses both festive and ominous, elaborate arias,
ariosos, ensembles and four massive concluding fugues. The Kyrie
and certain arias are traditional in style, while the remainder is
distinctly modern; the fugues are powerfully expressive despite their
contrapuntal fireworks, especially the overwhelming ‘Et vitam
venturi’, which functions not merely as a concluding highpoint but as
the through-composed goal of the entire Credo. The Missa ‘Sunt
bona mixta malis’ (1768) survives only in an autograph fragment
transmitting the Kyrie and the first part of the Gloria; it is not known
whether Haydn completed the work, and the import of ‘mixed good
and bad’ (from a classical proverb) remains obscure. It is set for
chorus and organ continuo in stile antico; strict fugal expositions
alternate with free counterpoint and occasional homophonic
passages. The ‘Great Organ Mass’ in E♭ (c1768–9) is more personal
in tone: the dark english horns contrast with exuberant treble
obbligato organ parts in the Kyrie, Benedictus and Dona nobis
pacem. The Missa Sancti Nicolai (1772) is often described as
‘pastoral’, owing to its key of G major and the lilting 6/4 rhythm of
the Kyrie (which returns for the Dona nobis pacem), although the
Crucifixus and Agnus Dei are serious indeed. In the mid-1770s
followed the ‘Little Organ Mass’ in B♭, a quiet, almost pietistically
fervent missa brevis. The ‘Mariazellermesse’ in C (1782) resembles
the Missa Cellensis in key, scoring and purpose, although it is more
compact and more closely allied with sonata style.
Notwithstanding their semi-private function for the Esterházy court,

Haydn’s six late masses are consummate masterworks that exhibit
no trace of provinciality or the ‘occasional’. He exploits the
complementary functions of soloists and chorus with inexhaustible
freedom and telling effect; owing to his London experience the
orchestra plays a newly prominent role. Four are in B♭, perhaps
because b♭″ was Haydn’s usual highest pitch for choral sopranos (he
employed the same key for the final choruses of Parts 2–3 of The
Creation and Part 1 of The Seasons). The other two are the only ones
for which he provided descriptive titles: the Missa in tempore belli
(‘Mass in Time of War’, 1796) in C features the bright, trumpet-
dominated sound typical of masses in this key; the Missa in angustiis
(‘Mass in [times of] Distress’, later nicknamed ‘Nelson Mass’, 1798)
in D minor and major is scored for a dark orchestra comprising only
trumpets and timpani, strings and organ. Both invoke the travails of
the Napoleonic wars. The Agnus Dei of the former includes
threatening timpani motifs and harsh trumpet fanfares, while the
Benedictus of the latter culminates in another harsh fanfare passage
‘out of context’; both influenced the Agnus Dei in Beethoven’s Missa
solemnis. On the other hand, except for the sombre Kyrie and
Benedictus of the ‘Nelson Mass’, both are otherwise firmly
optimistic; the ending of the latter is downright jaunty.
Page 51 of 607
Although Haydn’s late masses indubitably reflect the experience of
the London symphonies, their symphonic character has been
exaggerated. Even in the Kyrie, which usually consists of a slow
introduction and a fast main movement, the latter freely combines
fugato and sonata style in a distinctly unsymphonic way. The Gloria
and Credo are divided into several movements, fast–slow–fast with
the slow middle movement(s) in contrasting keys and featuring the
soloists (e.g. the ‘Qui tollis’ of the Missa in tempore belli, a bass aria
with solo cello in A major; or the ‘Et incarnatus’ of the Heiligmesse,
based on Haydn’s canon Gott im Herzen); they usually conclude with
a fugue on a brief subject, which often enters attacca and always
leads to a homophonic coda. The Sanctus often adopts the ‘majesty’
topic, admixed with mysterious passages; it leads directly into the
brief ‘Pleni sunt coeli – Osanna’, which may or may not return
following the Benedictus. The latter is a long movement and an
emotional highpoint; it usually features the soloists and is in, or
based on, sonata form. The Agnus Dei opens with an initial slow
section, either threatening in the minor or serenely confident in a
remote major key; it leads to a half-cadence and thence to the fast
‘Dona nobis pacem’, usually a free combination of fugato and
homophony, leading (again) to a homophonic wind-up.
The other liturgical works date primarily from the first half of
Haydn’s career; their original destinations and purposes are almost
entirely unknown. According to liturgical function they comprise
offertories (HXXIIIa), Marian antiphons (HXXIIIb), hymns (HXXIIIc)
and pastorellas (HXXIIId; Haydn called them ‘cantilenas’). They vary
widely in style and scale, from the massive, dark, traditional Stabat
bis
mater (HXX , 1767) to the tender devotion of the Lauda Sion hymn
complexes; from the festive jubilation of the choral Te Deum settings
with trumpets and drums in C to the stylized folk idiom of the
pastorellas for solo voices and strings. Even subgenres exhibit
marked contrasts: the Lauda Sion hymns from the 1750s (HXXIIIc:5)
are all in C, Vivace 3/4, while those from the later 1760s (HXXIIIc:4)
are in a tonally interesting set of four different keys and alternate
Andante 3/4 with Largo alla breve. Similarly, the Salve regina in E
(HXXIIIb:1, 1756) features ornate italianate writing for the solo
soprano, whereas that in G minor (HXXIIIb:2, 1771) is expressively
brooding, with no trace of vocal ornamentation. Of the three late
works, the offertory Non nobis, Domine in D minor (HXXIIIa:1, ?
1780s) is an a cappella work reminiscent of the Missa ‘Sunt bona
mixta malis’, while the six ‘English psalms’ of 1794 (HXXIII,
Nachtrag), Haydn’s only Protestant church music, adumbrate the
elevated but plain style of ‘The heavens are telling’ in The Creation.
The late Te Deum ‘for the empress’ (HXXIIIc:2, ?1800), for chorus
and very large orchestra, is an ABA construction of great power and
terseness; it whirls through the very long text in little more than
eight minutes, while still finding time for a double fugue and an
immense climax at the end.
Haydn’s oratorios comprise Il ritorno di Tobia, his revision of

Friebert’s arrangement of the Seven Last Words, The Creation and
The Seasons. The libretto of Tobia (by a brother of Boccherini)
narrates the story of the blind Tobit from the Apocrypha; Haydn
fashioned a magnificent late example of Austrian-Italian vocal music,
Page 52 of 607
comprising chiefly long bravura arias, along with three choruses;
most of the recitatives are accompagnati of emotional intensity. In
1784 he revived the oratorio, shortening many of the arias, adding
two magnificent new choruses and supplementing the
instrumentation. The Seven Last Words, a success during Haydn’s
lifetime and beyond, is less popular today, in part because it is not a
full-length work, in part owing to the succession of eight consecutive
adagios which, paradoxically, seem more monotonous than in the
orchestral version. Its most striking movement is the bleak, newly
composed introduction to the second part, scored for wind alone and
set in A minor, a key Haydn hardly ever used.
The Creation is Haydn’s most loved work today, as it was in his

lifetime. Part 1 treats the First to Fourth Days (the creation of light,
land and sea, plant life, heavenly bodies), Part 2 the Fifth and Sixth
(animals, birds, fish, man and woman); each Day comprises
recitative on prose from Genesis, a commentary set as an aria or
ensemble, another recitative and a choral hymn of praise. Part 3
abandons the Bible; it amounts to a cantata devoted to Adam and
Eve and to further praise of heaven. The optimistic tone is enhanced
by the increasing brilliance and complexity of the choruses as the
work proceeds; they reflect Haydn’s experience of Handel in
England. Also reminiscent of Handel (not that Haydn needed the
stimulus) are the many word- and scene-paintings, of which the most
striking include the emergence of the oceans and mountains
(‘Rolling in foaming billows’), the sunrise and moonrise, the birds of
‘On mighty pens’ and the teeming low strings of ‘Be fruitful all’;
though often taken as humorous, these conceits are essential to the
Enlightenment optimism of the work. The famous ‘Representation
Chaos’ (or ‘Idea of Chaos’: Vorstellung implies both meanings) is not
literally chaotic but paradoxical: beginning in C minor mystery, it
initiates a larger process which points beyond itself, and acquires
meaning only with the choral climax on ‘And there was light!’ in C
major. The remainder of Part 1 takes place, as it were, during the
reverberation of this event; its triumphant concluding chorus ‘The
heavens are telling’ is again in C. By contrast, the final sections
dealing with ourselves shift to the ‘human’ key of B♭ and its
subdominant E♭. Although Part 3 opens in a radiant, astonishingly
remote E major for the Garden of Eden, it soon reverts to F and C
for the gigantic ‘Lobgesang’ and, via E♭ for Adam’s and Eve’s
lovemaking in earthy Singspiel style, to B♭ for the final choral fugue.
The libretto of The Seasons presents scenes of nature and country

life; the narrator-function is personified as the moralizing peasants
Simon, Jane and Lucas. The scenic aspects stimulated Haydn to his
best efforts: the storms of late winter, the farmer sowing his seed to
the tune of the Andante of the ‘Surprise’ Symphony, a sunrise that
outdoes that in The Creation, the thick C minor fogs of early winter,
and the multi-movement depiction of summer heat, first languid,
then oppressive, finally exploding in Haydn’s greatest storm. Among
the genre scenes those for the chorus are unsurpassed, notably at
the end of Autumn: first the hunt, from sighting to chase to kill to
celebration (the horns quote numerous actual hunting calls, and join
the trombones and strings in double grace notes for the baying of
the hounds), and cast in progressive tonality from D to E♭; then the
drinking chorus in C, with increasingly uncertain harmonizations of
Page 53 of 607
a prominent high note for the raising of glasses, a dance in 6/8
leading to an inebriated fugue and a breathless wind-up that may
have inspired the end of Verdi’s Falstaff. Other important choruses
are pastoral (‘Komm, holder Lenz’) and religious: ‘Ewiger, mächtiger,
gütiger Gott’ at the end of Spring, Haydn’s most massive chorus
(itself run on from the preceding trio, the two movements as a whole
in ‘progressive tonality’); and the concluding ‘Dann bricht der grosse
Morgen an’, in which we enter heaven in a blaze of C major glory,
resolving the C minor of the beginning of Winter. Notwithstanding
its less exalted subject, The Seasons is compositionally more
virtuoso than The Creation and offers greater variety of tone:
Haydn’s pastoral is one of the final glories of a tradition that is more
than ‘high’ enough.
In Haydn’s sacred vocal music the aesthetics of through-composition

is a matter not only of cyclic integration, but of doctrine and
devotion. Many of these works are organized around the conceptual
image of salvation, at once personal and communal, achieved at or
near the end: a musical realization of the desire for a state of grace.
This is especially clear in a relatively brief work such as the Salve
regina in G minor, where the astonishing vocal entry on an
augmented sixth chord is not really resolved until the end, when
Haydn ‘hears’ the supplicants’ prayer by turning to the major.
Particularly in his late sacred music such concepts are wedded to the
sublime: not only in the Creation of Light, which expresses that
which is otherwise unthinkable – the origins of the universe and of
history – but also in the choruses that conclude each part of The
Creation, ‘Spring’ and ‘Winter’ in The Seasons and many movements
of the late masses.
9. Secular vocal music.

James Webster
Haydn’s stage works comprise 13 Italian operas, four Italian

comedies (with spoken dialogue rather than recitative), five or six
German Singspiele and incidental music for plays, of which only
Symphony no.60, ‘Il distratto’, survives; almost all were composed
for the Esterházy court. Those predating 1766 are lost, except for
fragments of the festa teatrale Acide (1762, revised 1773) and of the
commedia Marchese (1762–3). His three operas from the late 1760s
become increasingly long and complex. The two-act intermezzo La
canterina (1766) has wonderful comic scenes centring on the jealous
singing teacher Don Pelagio and his charge Gasparina (who
‘overreacts’ to being thrown out of his house with a distraught aria
in C minor); each act ends with a quartet. Lo speziale (1768), in
three acts, is called a dramma giocoso and is based on a libretto of
this type by Goldoni, but the Esterházy version eliminates the two
parti serie. It has many new features, including a ‘Turkish’ aria with
‘exotic’ key-relations and rhythms and a graphic portrayal of the
effects of the apothecary’s remedies for constipation. The concluding
trio and quartet of the first and second acts, respectively, include
real dramatic action. The three-act Le pescatrici (1769–70), also
based on Goldoni, is a true dramma giocoso including the ‘serious’
Page 54 of 607
Prince Lindoro and Eurilda, an heiress to a principality who has been
raised as a simple fisherwoman; their music is in ‘high’ style, and
Eurilda (in distinction to the eponymous fisherwomen) takes no part
in the comic ensembles. It has more ensembles, in proportion to its
total length, than any other Haydn opera, although the majority are
‘choruses’ in primarily homophonic style. Among the latter is the Act
3 ‘Soavi zeffiri’, whose E major tonality and depiction of sea breezes
resemble Mozart’s ‘Placido è il mar’ in Idomeneo and ‘Soave sia il
vento’ in Così fan tutte.
After a pause, in 1773 Haydn composed L’infedeltà delusa, a

‘burletta per musica’ in two acts based on a libretto by the
‘reforming’ librettist Marco Coltellini. For the last time there are no
serious characters; the opera portrays an idealized peasant life (with
much lampooning of the nobility) and the characters are concerned
only to set their mismatched affections aright. From the same year
comes the German Philemon und Baucis, originally a marionette
opera but surviving only in an adaptation for the stage. The
moralizing plot is based on the old theme of the god or king who is
spiritually renewed by the incorruptible virtue of simple peasants;
musically it is similar to L’infedeltà, with the addition of impressive D
minor music in the overture and a thunderstorm chorus preceding
Jupiter’s arrival.
Most of Haydn’s remaining operas for Eszterháza are in three acts

and are drammi giocosi or other subgenres that mix comic and
serious characters. In 1775 he composed L’incontro improvviso on a
libretto adapted from Gluck’s La rencontre imprévue; it is a harem-
rescue plot set in the orient, as in Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem
Serail, although many incidents lack sufficient motivation. The
heroine Rezia and her rescuer Prince Ali are the serious characters,
while lower-class characters provide broad ‘exotic’ humour. In a
subplot Rezia uses her confidantes Balkis and Dardane to test Ali’s
fidelity (the gender-reversal is noteworthy); their Act 1 trio in the
harem, with three sopranos sharing chromatic lines full of
suspensions, is an invocation of timeless pleasure. In 1777 followed
Il mondo della luna, based on Goldoni’s popular libretto; the hero
Ecclitico dupes the elderly Buonafede into supposing he has
travelled to the moon (staged as an exotic, luxurious kingdom) and
eventually into assenting to Ecclitico’s marriage to his daughter
Clarice (and two other marriages for good measure). The keys C and
E♭ symbolize Earth and Moon respectively, the representation of the
journey in the Act 1 finale being particularly magical, as is the Act 3
duet for the two principals. La vera costanza (1778–9, revised 1785),
on a libretto by Francesco Puttini previously set by Anfossi, is
Haydn’s fullest exploration of the ‘sentimental’ subgenre of opera
buffa. Rosina, secretly married to the half-mad Count Errico, lives
incognito in a fishing-village. Eventually the Count and many other
characters discover her, leading to repeated painful tests of her
virtue and fortitude; in despair she flees to the country, where the
final reconciliation takes place. The music is glorious and the
characterizations surprisingly credible, with Rosina reaching heights
of genuine emotion. The finales to Acts 1 and 2 are now (and largely
remain) as long and complex as those in Mozart’s operas.
Page 55 of 607
A change of pace is represented by L’isola disabitata (1779), a
relatively brief azione teatrale on a libretto by Metastasio, with all
the recitatives orchestrally accompanied, and quite short, primarily
lyrical arias without much coloratura. Next came La fedeltà premiata
(1780), a dramma pastorale giocoso by G.B. Lorenzi, previously set
by Cimarosa as L’infedeltà fedele; given the contrived plot-spring of
the annual sacrifice of two lovers to appease an offended sea
monster, the action and motivations are plausible. The number of
arias in serious style is relatively high, with a climax in Celia’s great
scena in Act 2; the finale in Act 1 is Haydn’s longest (822 bars).
Orlando paladino (1782) is a dramma eroicomico with a libretto by
Nunziato Porta based on Badini. Its subject is Orlando’s madness
(deriving ultimately from Ariosto’s Orlando furioso), which Haydn
portrays in remarkable scenes of mixed accompanied recitative and
aria; the long scenes for Angelica and the feckless Medoro are
musical highlights as well, as are the comic numbers for Orlando’s
squire Pasquale. Armida (1783) is a dramma eroico based on the
Armida-Rinaldo action from Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata. It is
primarily seria in style, with long stretches of action set in freely
alternating accompanied recitatives and set pieces; the long magic
forest scene of Act 3 is particularly successful. L’anima del filosofo,
ossia Orfeo ed Euridice (1791), an opera seria in four acts composed
in London to a libretto by Badini, was not produced.
Notwithstanding numerous bravura arias, its style resembles that of
Haydn’s late instrumental works more closely than do his earlier
operas; in Act 2 the extended scenes of Eurydice’s death and
Orpheus’s discovery of her body are deeply affecting. It also includes
numerous choruses, which contribute to the action; he uses males
for the Furies and females for the Bacchae, the latter bringing the
work to a tragic end in D minor.
During his career Haydn’s operatic palette expanded both

generically, from straight buffa or seria to various mixed types
(reflecting the repertory as a whole), and compositionally, with
longer individual numbers, interpenetration of accompanied
recitative and set piece, and increased size and scope of the finale
(except in seria). Notwithstanding his own high opinion of his operas
(see §6), they were largely forgotten until the second half of the 20th
century, when editions and recordings as well as stagings made
them widely available. Their recent reception has been mixed. The
music is beyond praise: the brilliance of Haydn’s tonal and formal
construction and his rhythmic verve go without saying; masterly too
are his vivid characterization in arias, expressive strength in
accompanied recitatives and fascinating orchestral effects; he often
composes ‘against the grain’ of the genre or libretto to dramatic
purpose. For these reasons (as well as their ready availability), they
have attracted much analytical and critical attention. On the other
hand, although the librettos represent major types and their
thematic orientation is often strong, they often exhibit weaknesses of
plausibility, motivation or dramaturgy; even Haydn’s music cannot
always overcome these faults, nor did he always exploit the dramatic
implications of his librettos. For example, when deceptions are
revealed in the Act 2 finales of Lo speziale and Il mondo della luna,
the musical character does not change until later, when the people
deceived (Sempronio, Buonafede) give vent to outbursts of rage; and
Page 56 of 607
Eurydice’s second death remains anticlimactic (although here the
libretto is also at fault). However, negative criticism has also been
coloured by insufficient understanding of generic norms of the
period 1760–80 (such as the dominance of aria over ensemble and
‘seamless’ action, and the relative brevity of the third act), and by
inappropriate comparisons with Gluck and late Mozart instead of
with Gassmann, Anfossi or Cimarosa. In appropriate stagings with
good singers, Haydn’s operas are effective and moving in the
theatre.
The festive Italian cantatas honouring Prince Nicolaus (HXXIVa:1–5,

c1762–7) begin with a long orchestral ritornello leading to an
accompanied recitative announcing the cause for celebration,
followed by arias and duets and concluding with a chorus. The very
long solo numbers are unusually virtuoso and richly orchestrated (in
an aria from Qual dubbio ormai, no.4, Haydn wrote himself an
elaborate obbligato harpsichord part). The celebratory cantata
Applausus (HXXIVa:6, 1768) on an allegorical Latin text is
stylistically similar, although it is longer and musically more
concentrated, and as appropriate to its elevated text has been said
to adumbrate the sublime. An important late chorus is The Storm
(HXXIVa:8, 1792); as in so many works of this type, minor-mode fury
is followed by ‘calm’ in the major.
Three late solo cantatas for soprano are of great significance. Miseri
noi (HXXIVa:7, by 1786) was composed for an unknown occasion and
singer (possibly Nancy Storace); the middle section, a Largo in G
minor, is particularly impressive. Arianna a Naxos (HXXVIb:2, ?1789)
was perhaps composed for Bianca Sacchetti in Venice; in the
passionate recitatives the piano presents the lion’s share of the
musical material, while the voice declaims the text dramatically.
Ariadne’s mixed hope and despair are vividly portrayed; in her final
aria a long, slow, formal paragraph in F major leads to a wild rage
aria in F minor, of which the final chord, for piano alone, is
astonishingly F major. Berenice, che fai (HXXIVa:10, 1795), on a text
from Metastasio’s Antigono, is public music for a virtuoso and hence
more difficult and extroverted. The recitatives feature what is
arguably Haydn’s most extreme use of remote and enharmonic
modulations; further, the two arias are in ‘opposed’ keys (E major
and F minor), while the orchestration is as brilliant as that of the last
London symphonies.
Haydn’s 47 songs (HXXVIa) comprise 24 German lieder (nos.1–24,

1781–4), 14 English songs (nos.25–36, 41–2, 1794–5, of which nos.
25–36 were published as ‘Canzonettas’) and miscellaneous German
lieder. The lieder of 1781–4 stand in close chronological and stylistic
proximity to the op.33 quartets. Although they have seemed simple
to many commentators – they are relatively short and strophic, with
the piano right hand largely doubling the voice – they are varied in
mood and exhibit subtle rhythmic and formal construction, often
brilliantly realizing implications of the text; the 1784 set includes
more deeply felt items. The English canzonettas contain many
striking effects and are in many cases through-composed; see the
remarkable off-tonic vocal entry of She never told her love, with its
climax on ‘smiling with grief’, or the controlled passion of O Tuneful
Voice: the poem invokes Mrs Hunter’s sorrow at Haydn’s departure,
the music his farewell to her and to England. A special case is the
Page 57 of 607
‘Emperor’s Hymn’ (see §5), with its fusion of elevated hymn and
‘folk’ styles. The 13 partsongs (mehrstimmige Gesänge; HXXVc,
1796–9) with keyboard accompaniment adumbrate the characteristic
19th-century Viennese genre of social music for vocal ensemble.
Haydn said of them that they were composed ‘con amore in happy
times and without commission’ (Griesinger); as far as we know they
(and his canons) are his only works of which this is true. They are
among his wittiest, most beautiful and most touching creations, with
an inimitable air of casual sophistication and a brilliant combination
of comic and serious topics and styles; their fusion of easy
intelligibility and wit with the highest art and their ravishing part-
writing almost suggest string quartets for voices.
10. Orchestral music.

James Webster
Although Haydn’s sobriquet ‘father of the symphony’ is not literally

true, in a deeper sense it is apt: there is no other genre in Western
music for which the output of a single composer is at once so vast in
extent (106 works: HI:1–104, 107–8), so historically important and of
such high artistic quality. His pre-Esterházy symphonies (most
composed for Count Morzin) comprise nos.1, 37 and 18 (the
earliest); 2, 4–5, 10–11, 17, 19–20, 25, 27, 32, 107; and possibly 3
and 15. All are scored for two oboes, two horns and strings except
for no.32 (with trumpets) and perhaps nos.27 and 37 (in which the
parts for horns and oboes respectively may not be original); the
majority are in three movements, fast–slow–fast. The distinction
between a relatively weighty first movement and a faster finale is
already present; the interior movement for strings alone is only
moderately slow (Andante) and ‘light’ in style. Only nos.3 and 20
exhibit the later standard four-movement pattern; in nos.32 and 37
the minuet precedes the slow movement (found also in nos.108, 44,
68). In nos.5 in A and 11 in E♭ (the only ones in keys this distant
from C), the slow movement comes first and is a weighty Adagio,
producing the sequence slow–fast–minuet–fast with all four
movements in the tonic (found also in nos.21–2, 34, 49). These early
symphonies combine Italian and Austrian, light and serious,
traditional and up-to-date features. Notwithstanding their limited
outward dimensions, they are masterful; many exhibit considerable
thematic integration (no.15) or manipulate generic norms to artistic
effect (the opening movements of nos.15 and 25 are unusual in form,
in ways that relate to the character and ordering of the succeeding
movements); in no.3 the finale combines fugue and sonata form.
Haydn’s years as Esterházy vice-Kapellmeister (1761–5) were his

most productive as a symphony composer, with about 25 works (nos.
6–9, 12–16, 21–4, 28–31, 33–4, 36, 39–40, 72, 108(B)); nos.35, 38
and 58–9 from about 1766–7 are similar. They exhibit great variety of
style, subject matter and orchestral treatment, although the common
notion that they constituted a distinctly ‘experimental’ phase is
untenable. Their stylistic élan and virtuoso brilliance are attributable
to the splendour of the court and the professional players now at
Haydn’s disposal. One finds works for connoisseurs (nos.6–8, 13, 21–
Page 58 of 607
2, 31), others that seek to entertain (nos.9, 16, 33, 36, 72, 108) and
still others that combine both stances (nos.34, 39–40). A few present
an apotheosis of the chamber symphony: at ease, yet refined and
profound (nos. 28–9, 35). Extra-musical aspects are present not only
in the Matin–Midi–Soir trilogy (see §3(i)) but also nos.30 (‘Alleluja’),
31 (‘Hornsignal’), and perhaps 22 (‘The Philosopher’) and 59 (‘Fire’,
a modern nickname deriving from its supposed origin as incidental
music). Although a few symphonies are still in three movements
(nos.9, 12, 16, 30), four is now the norm. Concertante scoring is
prominent not only in nos.6–8 but in nos.9, 13, 14, 16, 31, 36, 72 and
108; a special effect found in this period alone is the use of four
horns rather than the usual two (nos.13, 31, 39, 72).
Haydn’s symphonies of the years around 1770 (nos.26, 41–9, 52, 65)
are widely described as exemplifying his Sturm und Drang style;
those of 1773–4 (nos.50, 51, 54–7, 60, 64), while less extreme, have
many points of contact with it. The most commonly cited feature is
the minor mode – of Haydn’s ten symphonies in the minor, six fall
between 1765 and 1772 – although most works remain in the major,
and most of the novel stylistic features are independent of mode.
These include remote keys (no.45, ‘Farewell’, in F♯ minor and major,
and no.46 in B major), rhythmic and harmonic complexities,
expansion of outward dimensions and harmonic range, rhythmic
instability, extremes of dynamics and register, greater technical
difficulty, increased use of counterpoint (e.g. in the canonic minuet
of no.44, ‘Mourning’), musical ideas that seem dynamically potential
rather than self-contained, and contrast within themes instead of
merely between them. The slow movements and finales become
more nearly comparable to the first movements in size and weight;
in the former the violins play con sordino and the tempo is usually
slowed to Adagio. No.26 (‘Lamentatione’) has religious associations
and no.49 (‘La passione’) may have as well. The programmatic nos.
45–6 (they seem to be a pair) are integrated in a through-composed,
end-orientated manner not seen again until Beethoven’s Fifth
Symphony.
From about 1775 (in some respects 1773) to 1781 Haydn again
changed his orientation. Symphonies nos.53, 61–3, 66–71 and 73–5
are primarily in a light, even popular style (only no.70 is an
exception), perhaps reflecting his resumption of operatic
composition in 1773; indeed nos.53, 62, 63 and 73 include
adaptations of stage-music (see §3(iii)), as had nos.50 (1773) and 60
(1774) before them. This stylistic turn has been interpreted as a kind
of relaxation, or even as an outright selling out, but it is better
understood as representing the distinct artistic stance of
entertainment. They are easy (as Haydn was to say of nos.76–8), but
superbly crafted, and abound in striking and beautiful passages, not
to mention witty and eccentric ones: works of comic genius that
approach the buffa stage. The slow movements exhibit new formal
and stylistic options (the hymn-like no.61, the exquisitely ‘popular’
theme in no.53, the play of comic and serious in no.68, the ethereal
dream in no.62), while the finales adumbrate rondo and hybrid
forms. Slow introductions become important about 1779 and begin
to create tangible links to the allegros (nos.53, 71 and 73).
Page 59 of 607
During the 1780s Haydn’s style changed again, as he began to sell
his symphonies abroad, in ‘opus’ format (see §3(iv) above). Although
in many respects nos.76–81 (1782–4) are still ‘easy’, they include
superb movements such as the opening Vivace of no.81 and the
finales of nos.77 (with its contrapuntal development) and 80 (with its
cross-rhythm theme). In nos.78 and 80 Haydn returns to the minor,
although from no.80 on he usually ends such movements in the
major, and places the entire finale in the major as well. The Paris
symphonies (nos.82–7) are the grandest he had yet composed. Nos.
87, 83 and 85 (1785) already have a new esprit, a combination of
learned and popular style, consistency of musical argument and
depth of feeling; see the slow movements of nos.83 and 87 and the
outer movements of no.85 (the opening Vivace is particularly
graceful and harmoniously constructed). In nos.82 and 86 (1786) the
trumpets and drums lend added brilliance and the outer movements
are on a still larger scale; the Capriccio of no.86 is one of Haydn’s
most original slow movements. All these features characterize nos.
88 and 90–92 as well (no.89 falls off somewhat). Nos.88 and 92 are
the best-known: the former boasts concentrated, in part
contrapuntal, outer movements, while the gorgeous Largo theme is
set off by entries of the trumpets and drums (withheld from the first
movement for this purpose); the latter features an unusually close
integration of slow introduction and Allegro, a beautiful Adagio,
rhythmically intricate trio and Haydn’s sprightliest and wittiest
finale to date.
Haydn’s London symphonies (nos.93–104) crown his career as a

symphonic composer. Not only do they outdo the Paris symphonies
stylistically, but he produced them in person for rapturous
audiences; this interaction stimulated him to ever bolder and more
original conceptions. Nos.95–6 (1791) most nearly resemble the
preceding symphonies, although no.95 in C minor has a gripping
opening movement dominated by a striking unison motto, an
ominously terse minuet and a brilliant sonata-fugal finale in C major
(possibly influenced by the finale of Mozart’s ‘Jupiter’). Those given
in 1792 (nos.93–4, 97–8) respond to Haydn’s public: in no.94 the
famous outburst in the Andante is actually the least remarkable
‘surprise’; the opening Vivace reaches new heights of tonal wit and
expansive brilliance, and the concluding sonata-rondo is the first to
exhibit the blend of rhythmic vitality, playful surprise, larger scale
and underlying cogency of argument that distinguish Haydn’s
London finales. These last features are found in nos.97–8 as well,
along with a new romanticism in the opening movement of no.97
(the breathtaking diminished 7th chord in bar 2, which returns at
several key points, and the remote flat-side modulations in the
recapitulation); in no.98 Haydn composed an extended fortepiano
obbligato for himself in the coda of the finale.
The last six symphonies are even more brilliant (clarinets are added,
except in no.102); Haydn’s determination to conquer new territory
with each work is palpable. No.99 in E♭ is his most elaborate
symphonic essay in remote tonal relations; it also features a
particularly warm slow movement (in G major), with extensive wind
writing (much commented on at the time). No.101 (‘Clock’) has by
far the longest minuet and trio Haydn ever composed and a
particularly brilliant rondo finale. No.100 (‘Military’) rapidly became
Page 60 of 607
his most popular, owing to the slow movement based on a romance
(from the lyre concerto HVIIh:3), overlaid by massive percussion
outbursts that audiences found deliciously terrifying. No.102 is the
least ‘characteristic’ of these six, yet one of the greatest; its most
remarkable movement is the Adagio (identical in musical substance
to that in the F♯ minor Piano Trio HXV:26), in which the exposition is
repeated in order to vary the instrumentation, with muted trumpets
and drums. No.103 (‘Drumroll’) offers Haydn’s most telling
invocation of the sublime in instrumental music, by means of an
astonishing double annunciation: first the ‘intrada’ fortissimo drum
roll, then the mysterious bass theme (resembling the ‘Dies irae’),
which dominates the Allegro as well and, even more astonishingly,
interrupts the recapitulation near the end. No.104 begins with a
massive dotted motif on the 5th D–A, which some commentators
describe as dominating the entire symphony; the first movement is
one of Haydn’s freest and the finale has greater relative weight than
that in any other of the London symphonies.
Besides the symphonies Haydn’s orchestral music comprises the six

early Scherzandi (HII:33–8), a few miscellaneous symphonic
movements, overtures and instrumental numbers from operas and
oratorios, incidental music, more than 100 minuets (many lost), of
which the most important are the magnificent minuets and German
dances HIX:11–12 (1792), and four late marches. He also composed
numerous concertos, both for melody instruments (many of them
lost) and for keyboard. Of the former, the most important are two
virtuoso early Esterházy works: the Violin Concerto in C (HVIIa:1)
and the massive Cello Concerto in C (HVIIb:1), and two late works:
the Concertante (HI:105, 1792) and the Trumpet Concerto (1796),
composed for Anton Weidinger’s ‘keyed’ trumpet (a forerunner of
the valve trumpet). The six concertos for two lire organizzate (HVIIh:
1–5; the sixth is lost), commissioned by the King of Naples in 1786,
represent a special case; restricted to the keys of C, G and F and by
the technical limitations of the instruments, they are Haydn’s
shortest and most modest concertos, though delightful in every way.
Haydn’s three earliest keyboard concertos (1756 to c1761) were

probably composed for organ, although they were more widely
disseminated as harpsichord works; HXVIII:1 in C (?1756) is his
earliest surviving large-scale instrumental composition, while no.3 in
F is an unusual double concerto for organ or harpsichord and violin.
Later came nos.4 in F (probably c1770) and 5 in G (probably the
early 1770s), both for harpsichord, and no.11, the Piano Concerto in
D (c1783–4), Haydn’s only popular work in this genre. A distinct
subgenre comprises the early concertinos (HXIV:11–13, XVIII:F2),
not easily distinguished from a group of similar, probably soloistic
divertimentos (HXIV:3, 4, 7–10); all are tiny works for harpsichord,
violins and bass, mainly in C. Although finely crafted, his keyboard
concertos are less original and less popular than his symphonies,
perhaps in part because he favours the middle register (except in no.
11), eschews both overt and technical display and cantabile writing
(except in slow movements), and includes many sequential passages.
(These features reflect a particular stylistic orientation, not
limitations on Haydn’s imagination or his prowess as a performer.
The old canard that he was a mediocre keyboard player has long
Page 61 of 607
been laid to rest; his statement to Griesinger that ‘I was no mean
keyboard player and singer’ was clearly an understatement, for he
continued, ‘I could also perform a concerto on the violin’.)
11. Chamber music without keyboard.

James Webster
Haydn’s chamber music centres on his 68 string quartets, a genre of

which he was more nearly the literal ‘father’ than the symphony.
(The traditional figure of 83 included the spurious op.3, three
genuine early works that are not quartets, op.1 no.5 and op.2 nos.3
and 5, and the Seven Last Words, but omitted the early HII:6, ‘op.0’.)
His earlier quartets were composed in three discrete groups
separated by long pauses: the ten early works for Baron Fürnberg
(in the mid- to late 1750s), opp.9, 17 and 20 (in the years around
1770) and op.33 (1781). Each group offers a different solution to the
technical and aesthetic aspects of the genre while cumulatively
enlarging the resources of quartet style. The Fürnberg quartets
already take the soloistic ensemble for granted, including solo cello
without continuo. They belong to the larger class of ensemble
divertimentos, with which they share small outward dimensions,
prevailing light tone (except in slow movements) and a five-
movement pattern, usually fast–minuet–slow–minuet–fast. Even on
this small scale, high and subtle art abounds: witness the rhythmic
vitality, instrumental dialogue and controlled form of the first
movement of op.1 no.1 in B♭; the wide-ranging development and free
recapitulation in the first movement of op.2 no.4 in F, and the pathos
in its slow movement; and the consummate mastery of op.2 nos.1–2.
Opp.9, 17 and 20 established the four-movement form with two

outer fast movements, a slow movement and a minuet (although in
this period the minuet usually precedes the slow movement). They
also – op.20 in particular – established the larger dimensions, higher
aesthetic pretensions and greater emotional range that were to
characterize the genre from this point onwards. They are important
exemplars of Haydn’s Sturm und Drang manner: four works are in
the minor (op.9 no.4, op.17 no.4, op.20 nos.3 and 5); and nos.2, 5
and 6 from op.20 include fugal finales. Op.20 no.2 exhibits a new
degree of cyclic integration with its ‘luxuriantly’ scored opening
movement (Tovey, N1929–30), its minor-mode Capriccio slow
movement which runs on, attacca, to the minuet (which itself mixes
major and minor), and the combined light-serious character of the
fugue. Op.17 no.5 and op.20 also expand the resources of quartet
texture, as in the opening of op.20 no.2, where the cello has the
melody, a violin takes the inner part and the viola executes the bass.
In op.33 these extremes are replaced by smaller outward

dimensions, a more intimate tone, fewer extremes of expression,
subtlety of instrumentation, wit (as in the ‘Joke’ finale of no.2 in E♭)
and a newly popular style (e.g. in no.3 in C, the second group of the
first movement, the trio and the finale). Haydn now prefers
homophonic, periodic themes rather than irregularly shaped or
contrapuntal ones; as a corollary, the phrase rhythm is infinitely
Page 62 of 607
variable. The slow movements and finales favour ABA and rondo
forms rather than sonata form. However, these works are anything
other than light or innocent: no.1 in B minor is serious throughout
(the understated power of its ambiguous tonal opening has never
been surpassed), as are the slow movements of nos.2 and 5. Op.33
has been taken as marking Haydn’s achievement of ‘thematische
Arbeit’ (the flexible exchange of musical functions and development
of the motivic material by all the parts within a primarily
homophonic texture); although drastically oversimplified, this notion
has had great historiographical influence. These quartets’ play with
the conventions of genre and musical procedure is of unprecedented
sophistication; in thus being ‘music about music’, these quartets
were arguably the first modern works.
The appearance of op.33 was the first major event in what was to
become the crucial decade for the Viennese string quartet, as
Mozart and many other composers joined Haydn in cultivating the
genre. Indeed, all the elements of Classical quartet style as it has
usually been understood first appeared together in Mozart’s set
dedicated to Haydn (1782–5). He responded in opp.50, 54/55 and 64
by combining the serious tone and large scale of op.20 with the
‘popular’ aspects and lightly worn learning of op.33. The minuet now
almost invariably appears in third position; the slow movements, in
ABA, variation or double variation form are more melodic than those
in op.33; the finales, usually in sonata or sonata rondo form, are
weightier. Haydn’s art is no longer always subtle; the opening of op.
50 no.1 in B♭, with its softly pulsating solo cello pedal followed by
the dissonant entry of the upper strings high above, is an overt
stroke of genius, whose implications he draws out throughout the
movement.
Haydn’s quartets of the 1790s adopt a demonstratively ‘public’ style

(often miscalled ‘orchestral’), usually attributed to his experience in
London (op.71/74 was composed for his second visit there); the
fireworks for Salomon in the exposition of op.74 no.1 in C are an
obvious example of this new style. Without losing his grip on the
essentials of quartet style or his sovereign mastery of form, he
expands the dimensions still further, incorporating more original
themes (the octave leaps in the first movement of op.71 no.2), bolder
contrasts, distantly related keys (from G minor to E major in op.74
no.3) etc. Opp.76–7, composed back in Vienna, carry this process
still further, to the point of becoming extroverted and at times
almost eccentric: see the first movements of op.76 no.2 in D minor,
with its obsessive 5ths, and of op.76 no.3 in C, with its exuberant
ensemble writing and the gypsy episode in the development, or the
almost reckless finales of nos.2, 5 and 6 and op.77. He experimented
as well with the organization of the cycle: op.76 nos.1 and 3, though
in the major, have finales in the minor (reverting to the major at the
end), while nos.5–6 begin with non-sonata movements in moderate
tempo (but a fast concluding section), so that the weight of the form
rests on their unusual slow movements (the Largo in F♯ of no.5, the
tonally wandering Fantasia of no.6).
In his earlier years especially, Haydn composed extensively in other

chamber genres. His surviving authenticated ensemble
divertimentos (HII) consist of one string quintet (no.2), numerous
Page 63 of 607
mixed works including three in nine parts (nos.9, 17 and 20), one
each in eight and seven (nos.16 and 8), two sextets for strings and
two horns (nos.21–2) and two more for melody instruments (nos.1,
11), as well as at least five works for wind, four sextets (nos.3, 7, 15
and 23) and a tiny piece for two clarinets and two horns (no.14).
Most of them exhibit the same five-movement cyclic pattern as the
early string quartets, with the difference that contrasts in
instrumentation become a basis of style, for example in reduced
scorings in trios and slow movements or extended soloistic passages.
Although some of the mixed works (nos.1–2, 9, 11 and 20) are among
the earliest and are on average the least compelling, the slightly
later nos.8, 16–17, and 21–2 are on the same high level as the
quartets. The wind band works seem to date from about 1760–61;
they are even smaller in scale but unfailingly masterful.
By contrast, the 21 authenticated string trios (HV:1–21, by 1765) are

works for connoisseurs in ‘high’ style, difficult for player and listener
alike, in a wide range of keys (three in E, one in B, two even in B
minor). All are scored for two violins and (presumably) cello except
no.8 (violin and viola) and are thus related to the trio sonata
tradition, although the first violin dominates more than it
participates in dialogue. They are in three movements (except no.7,
in two), with a bewildering variety of cyclic patterns; many begin
with a slow movement and most include a minuet. The 126 baryton
trios (HXI; c1762–75) are similar in that they are music for a
(particular) connoisseur and always in three movements with a
minuet (except no.97 with seven: ‘fatto per la felicissima nascita di
S.Al.S. Prencipe Estorhazi’). Although the baryton takes the leading
role, they include much dialogue and ‘thematische Arbeit’; three late
works (nos.97, 101 and 114) include fugues. They are intimate
music, modest rather than ambitious, with a narrow range of keys
(dictated by the baryton’s technical limitations); Haydn’s ability to
fashion genuine art within such restricted conditions is remarkable.
In the middle and late 1770s Haydn’s production of chamber music

fell off markedly. One last group of baryton works comprises the
important octets HX:1–6 (mid-1770s); they are richer in scoring and
on a larger scale than the trios. The six violin-viola duets (HVI:1–6)
are likewise from the mid-1770s; the violin dominates and the style
seems somewhat old-fashioned. The six string trios from the early
1780s (HIV:6–11) and the four flute trios from London (HIV:1–4,
1794–5) are amateurs’ music, with small dimensions, simple textures
and restriction to two or three movements. By contrast, the eight
lyre notturnos for the King of Naples (HII:25–32, 1788–90), of
unfailing charm and true ‘chamber’ disposition, offer a wonderful
synthesis of play and art.
12. Keyboard music.

James Webster
Haydn’s keyboard works comprise solo sonatas (HXVI), trios (HXV)

and quartet-divertimentos (HXIV). In 18th-century thought and
practice these constituted a single, loosely defined genre, destined
Page 64 of 607
primarily for private performance and orientated on the topic of
sentiment, seen as the natural expressive mode for music performed
solely or primarily by an individual at the keyboard; indeed Haydn
often adopted a selfconsciously improvisatory style, especially after
1780. During the 1760s these keyboard works were apparently
composed for the harpsichord. The first clear (albeit indirect)
evidence of composition for the fortepiano (or possibly clavichord) is
found in the highly expressive Sonata no.20 (1771), with mannered
dynamic marks. Nevertheless, most works from the 1770s may have
been conceived for the harpsichord or neutrally for both
instruments. Beginning in the early 1780s, and decisively from the
late 1780s on, Haydn composed for the fortepiano. Many of his
keyboard works were composed for ladies, whether students in his
early years, the Auenbrugger sisters around 1780, or intimates such
as Mme Genzinger, Mrs Schroeter and Therese Jansen. The majority
are in three movements: either fast–slow–fast, or a fast movement,
slow movement and minuet in various permutations. Two-movement
works are also common, often slow–fast; numerous slow movements
in penultimate position are run on, attacca, to the finale. Even in the
1780s and 90s many works end with an outwardly modest movement
such as a Tempo di menuetto, a set of variations or a simple rondo.
Neither the two- and three- movement cyclic patterns nor the
modest finales were ‘conservative’ or ‘immature’, as has been
claimed; they are as finely wrought as quartet finales and exemplify
the prevailing generic orientation of intimacy.
Haydn’s early keyboard works are both serious and galant. The trios
HXV:f1 in F minor and 1 in G minor and the Sonata no.2 in B♭ (with
its astonishing Largo) are more intellectually difficult and
stylistically uncompromising than all the early quartets and most of
the early symphonies; many works are small and unpretentious and
were presumably written for students and amateurs. At least 12
weighty connoisseurs’ sonatas originated in the late 1760s and early
1770s, including nos.19, 20, 45, 46 and seven lost works. Two sets in
mixed style followed, nos.21–6 (1773) and 27–32 (1774–6); they
include serious works such as the boldly formed nos.22 in E and 26
in A, the passionate no.32 in B minor and the through-composed no.
30 in A, as well as numerous lighter works, especially in the 1774–6
set. In 1780 followed Haydn’s first publication with Artaria, the
heterogeneous nos.35–9 and 20, including the ‘easy’ no.35 in C, the
virtuoso no.37 in D and the serious no.36 in C♯ minor. The three
modestly scaled sonatas nos.40–42 (published 1784) are miracles of
popular appeal allied with high art, especially no.40 in G. Except for
no.51 in D, for Mrs Schroeter, Haydn’s last five sonatas eschew any
pretence of modesty. In the late 1780s he composed no.48 in C, with
a fantasy-like slow variation movement and a dashing sonata-rondo
finale, and the intimate no.49 in E♭ for Mme Genzinger; its brilliant
first movement has an unusually long coda and the ABA Adagio is
richly expressive, with continual variations of the theme. From
London come two virtuoso sonatas for Jansen: nos.50 in C and 52 in
E♭. The former features a remarkable first movement which, though
in sonata form, is based on continual variation of a basic motif; the
latter is on the largest scale throughout and features a slow
Page 65 of 607
movement in the remote key of E major (a tonal relation adumbrated
in the development of the first movement and wittily ‘cancelled’ at
the beginning of the finale).
Of Haydn’s few keyboard works outside the sonatas, the most

important are two capriccios – Acht Sauschneider müssen sein in G
(HXVII:1, 1765), a variation rondo with an immense tonal range, and
HXVII:4 in C (1789), another tonally wide-ranging work with
elements of sonata-rondo form, perhaps stimulated by a Fantasia
from C.P.E. Bach’s sixth collection of Clavier-Sonaten … für Kenner
und Liebhaber (1787) – and the F minor Variations for piano HXVII:6
(1793), arguably Haydn’s most original and concentrated double-
variation movement, with a coda (added in revision) of Beethovenian
power.
Haydn’s piano trios have been undervalued, in part because of the

great distance between their original generic identity and today’s
conceptions. 18th-century keyboard trios (like violin sonatas) were
understood as ‘accompanied sonatas’: the keyboard dominates, the
cello mainly doubles the left hand of the piano in a pitch-class sense,
and even the violin is generally more accompanimental than
soloistic, although it often receives sustained melodies in second
themes, slow movements, minuet trios and rondo episodes.
Nevertheless the strings are essential, for integration of the texture,
tone colour and rhythmic definition. The effort to hear Haydn’s 27
late piano trios (HXV:5–31, 1784–96) with 18th-century ears is worth
making: after the quartets they comprise his largest and greatest
corpus of chamber music. No.12 in E minor (1788–9) has an opening
movement of astonishing seriousness with vast expansions towards
the end, while the beautiful siciliano slow movement and the
ebullient rondo finale are both in E major. No.14 in A♭ (1789–90)
includes his first slow movement in a remote key (E major, or ♭VI,
adumbrated by B major in the development of the first movement).
From London, nos.24–6 (1794–5), dedicated to Schroeter, include no.
25 (with the famous ‘Gypsy Rondo’) and no.26 in the special key of
F♯ minor: following a concentrated and brooding Allegro and a
gorgeous Adagio in F♯ major (identical in substance with the Adagio
of Symphony no.102), the minuet-finale is anything other than
anticlimactic. It begins dissonantly on a dominant 9th and this
instability is maintained throughout: there is no tonic cadence until
the very last bar of the A section, just before the double bar, and in
the reprise even this cadence is deceptive, leading to a substantial
coda. Rosen praises its ‘intimate gravity … a melancholy so intense it
is indistinguishable from the tragic’, while Landon conjectures that
the work may represent Haydn’s farewell to Mrs Schroeter (the key
is suggestive). By contrast, nos.27 in C and 29 in E♭ (1795–6),
dedicated to Jansen, are difficult and extroverted; no.29 is
particularly original in construction, and both have rollicking finales
that outdo any earlier ones.
13. Haydn’s career.

James Webster
Page 66 of 607
Haydn’s career never stimulated a paradigmatic narrative
comparable to that of Beethoven’s three periods. To be sure, decisive
breaks occurred in 1761 (his move to the Esterházy court), 1790 (to
London) and 1795 (back to Vienna); the periods 1750–61, 1791–5
and 1795–1802 are distinctive regarding both the conditions of his
life and his compositional activity. However, the first and last of
these are brief in proportion to his career as a whole and cannot
bear the weight that ‘early’ and ‘late’ do in Beethoven’s case.
Furthermore, in any such reading Haydn’s 30 years at the Esterházy
court remain a long, uninterpreted ‘middle’. Its only major dividing-
points that affected both his life circumstances and his
compositional orientation were 1766, when he became full
Kapellmeister, 1776, when he became responsible for the court
opera, and 1779, when he negotiated his independence as composer
of instrumental music. Hence except for 1761–5 the Esterházy years
seem best understood in terms of a series of overlapping phases,
each defined by different criteria (see §3).
In the 20th century too much was made of the supposedly

evolutionary aspects of Haydn’s career, in part because of its
association with the notion of the rise of ‘Classical style’ (see
Classical). This led to a threefold periodization after all, but one
modelled mechanically on the traditional interpretation of artists’
careers: apprentice – journeyman – master. In Haydn’s case this took
the form: immaturity/composition within existing style –
experimentation/searching for a new style – maturity/‘Classical
style’; the last was assumed to be his overriding stylistic ‘goal’,
which he finally ‘achieved’. The oldest and most persistent of these
interpretations associated Classical style with thematische Arbeit
and the string quartets op.33 of 1781. Another proposed a double
progression: towards a first highpoint with his Sturm und Drang
manner around 1768–72, and a second one with the Paris
symphonies and the Seven Last Words of 1785–6. These notions are
not facts, however, but constructions, placed in the service of
stylistic narratives of the ‘per ardua ad astra’ type, more
ideologically focussed and psychologically reassuring than
explanatory. To be sure, other things equal, a later work of Haydn
will be more complex and concentrated than an earlier one; indeed
his music often became ‘more so’ within a single genre over a few
brief years; for example the string quartets opp.9, 17 and 20 or the
London symphonies. And he certainly experimented compositionally,
as is clear from his own account of ‘becoming original’. But even his
earliest music was never in any intrinsic sense immature, and he
continued to experiment, successfully, throughout his career. From
about 1755 on, Haydn’s music was technically masterful, generically
appropriate and rhetorically convincing; every one of his works is
best appreciated today in terms of these three modes of
understanding, applied in concert.
