About: Joseph Haydn

One of the towering figures of 18th-century music, Haydn gave the symphony and the string quartet their definitive Classical shape - and his late oratorios The Creation and The Seasons have drawn audiences to concert halls for over two centuries. His melody for the string quartet Op. 76 No. 3 lives on as the German national anthem.
