Franz Joseph Haydn, a renowned Austrian composer of the Classical period, left behind a legacy that continues to captivate audiences today. His music speaks volumes about his talent and dedication to his craft. In one of Haydn's lesser-known anecdotes, we discover an intriguing glimpse into his personal life through his "Anti-Visiting" card. Translated, it reads: "Gone is all my strength, old and weak am I. " These words reveal the struggles he faced as he grew older but also serve as a testament to his unwavering commitment to creating beautiful melodies. The Bergkirche in Eisenstadt, Austria stands as a silent witness to Haydn's musical journey. This picturesque church was undoubtedly an inspiration for him during his time there in the late 18th century. A portrait from that era showcases Haydn's distinguished appearance and captures the essence of this remarkable composer. Haydn's passion for music began at an early age when he studied in Hainburg an der Donau, Austria between 1738 and 1740. A print by Igo Potsch commemorates this significant period in Haydn's life on the centenary of his death. It serves as a reminder of how these formative years shaped him into the musical genius we know today. Throughout history, many have praised Haydn's compositions highly. His ability to evoke emotions through music was unparalleled during his time. In fact, it is said that even Haydn himself shed tears while listening to some of his own works being performed. Despite facing financial hardships throughout much of his life, Haydn managed to save enough money to purchase two volumes that would further enrich his musical knowledge and skills. This demonstrates both his resourcefulness and determination in pursuing excellence within the realm of composition. One cannot help but be intrigued by another aspect -his tantalizing pigtail hairstyle which became somewhat iconic during this era.
