Born in Austria, Haydn was one of the greatest composers of the Classical Period in music. He is renowned for taking the established forms of the symphony and string quartet and shaping them into the powerful media for musical expression that they became thereafter. He brought symphonic traits to piano sonata and was a master of chamber music. His majestic masses and endearing choral works also continue as standards in the concert repertory, and his operas are still highly valued. Haydn and Mozart maintained a friendship which was symbiotically influential and productive for both composers. He also briefly taught Beethoven in Vienna, but their conflicting personalities made this experience unrewarding. Beethoven was nevertheless a great admirer of Haydn?s works. The twelve symphonies that he composed for his London concert series represent the pinnacle of his symphonic work. The Creation is his best loved choral work.
