Haydn
Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was an influential Austrian composer of the Classical period, often referred to as the 'Father of the Symphony' and 'Father of the String Quartet.' His innovative contributions to these genres shaped the course of Western classical music, and he is known for his ability to blend humor with profound emotion in his compositions. Haydn's work laid the groundwork for later composers, including Beethoven, and his symphonies and string quartets remain staples in concert repertoires to this day.
