While still young he probably studied with Johann Baptist Vanhal, and from 1772 he became the pupil of Joseph Haydn in Eisenstadt.

The practice of calling Haydn " Papa " became increasingly plausible as Haydn's 30-plus years of service in the Eszterházy court went by ; with each year, he would have become increasingly older than the average musician serving under him.

The railway was originally owned by Sir Haydn Jones MP who became Sir Handel Brown in the books.

For instance, he frequently presented Haydn with gold ducats in praise of individual compositions, twice rebuilt Haydn's house when it burnt down ( 1768, 1776 ), and reversed a decision ( 1780 ) to dismiss the mediocre soprano Luigia Polzelli from the payroll when it became evident that Polzelli had become Haydn's mistress.

Haydn accordingly wanted more dramatic contrast and more emotionally appealing melodies, with sharpened character and individuality.

Haydn, having worked for over a decade as the music director for a prince, had far more resources and scope for composing than most and also the ability to shape the forces that would play his music.

Schenker's primary theoretic aims were to prove the superiority of music of the common practice period ( especially the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Fryderyk Chopin, and Johannes Brahms ) over more modern music such as that of Richard Wagner, Igor Stravinsky, and Arnold Schoenberg, and to show that most of the established music theory teaching of the time, with an emphasis on the theories of his contemporary Hugo Riemann, was misleading and useless for an understanding of the " masterworks.

The first public performance at Vienna ’ s Burgtheater on 19 March 1799 was sold out far in advance, and Die Schöpfung was performed nearly forty more times in the city during Haydn ’ s lifetime.

At the time, before the pre-eminence of Mozart or Beethoven, and with Johann Sebastian Bach known primarily to connoisseurs of keyboard music, Haydn reached a place in music that set him above all other composers except perhaps George Frideric Handel.

This opportunity was not wasted, as Haydn, beginning quite early on his career, sought to press forward the technique of building ideas in music.

Mozart rapidly came to the attention of Haydn, who hailed the new composer, studied his works, and considered the younger man his only true peer in music.

By the end of the 1780s, changes in performance practice, the relative standing of instrumental and vocal music, technical demands on musicians, and stylistic unity had become established in the composers who imitated Mozart and Haydn.

The crucial differences with the previous wave can be seen in the downward shift in melodies, increasing durations of movements, the acceptance of Mozart and Haydn as paradigmatic, the greater use of keyboard resources, the shift from " vocal " writing to " pianistic " writing, the growing pull of the minor and of modal ambiguity, and the increasing importance of varying accompanying figures to bring " texture " forward as an element in music.

Many symphonies are tonal works in four movements with the first in sonata form, which is often described by music theorists as the structure of a " classical " symphony, although many symphonies by the acknowledged classical masters of the form, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven do not conform to this model.

Older composers such as Haydn and Mozart restricted their use of the four-movement form to orchestral or multi-instrument chamber music such as quartets, though since Beethoven solo sonatas are as often written in four as in three movements ( Prout 1895, 249 ).
