“I was separated from the world, there was no one near to confuse me, so I was forced to become original.” Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
The role that shaped the musical life and development of Haydn was Kapellmeister at the Hungarian Prince Esterházy’s estate, a role that occupied all his time for 29 years. In his seclusion, he revolutionized the history of music, developing above all the genres of the string quartet and the symphony.
