Biography

The Father of the Symphony and Father of the String Quartet, Haydn was equally inventive in his 62 piano sonatas. His keyboard writing evolved from Baroque models to fully Classical structures, and his late sonatas (particularly Hob. XVI/50-52) are mature masterworks. His wit, formal surprise, and harmonic boldness directly shaped Beethoven, who studied with him.
