Born in 1732 in the small village of Rohrau, Haydn's journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most prolific and celebrated composers of the Classical period is a testament to his genius and dedication. Throughout his career, Haydn composed an astonishing array of works, including 107 symphonies, 83 string quartets, and numerous operas, masses, and piano sonatas. His innovative contributions to musical form and structure laid the foundation for the symphony and string quartet as we know them today. Haydn's music is not just a collection of notes but a rich tapestry of emotions and ideas that continue to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.
