I will make the next few posts about Joseph
Haydn. He was a contemporary of Mozart's
and is in someways an underrated classical
composer. One of my favorites of his is the
Farewell Symphony #45. Haydn brought an
orchestra to play for Prince Nikolaus of Esterhaza.
The stay in the prince's court dragged on too
long and the orchestra players wanted to return
home. Haydn had each musician snuff out
their music stand candles and leave the stage
consecutively before the last movement ended.
This was an indication to the prince that the
players wished to go home, and the prince took
the hint. More on Haydn later.
