Franz Joseph Haydn Classical era Fatima Shams 14/3/2024 Today we’ll discuss 01 02 03 Who is Haydn Haydn’s life Musical style journey 04 05 His Structure & Genre & Character Composition  01 Who is Haydn Franz Haydn, Austrian composer, 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. He is often regarded as the 'father of the symphony' and is known for his string quartet. Franz was considered an absolute musician, but his earnestness, depth of feeling, and referential tendencies are equally important to his art.  02 Haydn’s Life Journey Haydn's musical journey began in humble surroundings, devoid of formal musical education from his parents Despite their lack of musical training, Haydn's father, Mathias, was a dedicated folk musician who taught himself to play the harp during his journeyman years. Recognizing their son's innate musical talent, Haydn's parents sought better opportunities for him. At the age of six, they apprenticed him to Johann Matthias Frankh, a relative who was a schoolmaster and choirmaster in Hainburg. This decision marked a significant turning point in Haydn's life as he left his family behind to pursue formal musical education. Life with Frank presented challenges, including frequent hunger, but Haydn persevered. Despite the difficulties, Haydn quickly excelled under Frankh's guidance, mastering both the harpsichord and violin.  Haydn's musical talents That follow a successful continued to impress, leading to audition,where Haydn 1 his discovery by Georg Reutter the Younger, director of music at 2 moved to Vienna in 1740 to join St. St. Stephen's Cathedral in Stephen's Cathedral as Vienna, in 1739. a chorister under Reutter's direction.
