In 1755, Haydn was invited by the Count of Fienberg to participate in a quartet party at his residence, playing the violin in the quartet. The following year Haydn's 1st String Quartet in B-flat Major was released. Introduced by Count Fienberg, in 1759 Haydn was employed as conductor of the orchestra and composer of chamber music at the residence of the Czech counts of Morzine. During this year Haydn composed his First Symphony. In the following year, Haydn married Anna, the daughter of the Viennese wig merchant J.P. Koehler. After the marriage, the couple had a long estrangement and ended up without an heir.
. Most of Haydn's best works were written at the court of Eszterházy, including some 60 symphonies, 40 string quartets, some 30 piano sonatas, five masses and 11 operas.
In 1784 he accepted a commission to write symphonies for religious concerts in Paris; in 1785 he wrote the orchestral piece "The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross" for the Cathedral of Cádiz in Spain; and in 1786 he wrote six symphonies for the Olympic concerts in Paris. In the same year he wrote some nocturnes and concertos for King Ferdinand IV of Naples.
Haydn wrote twelve of his famous "London Symphonies" for the concerts of Zalomon, and in his later years two oratorios, "The Creation" (1796-1798) and "The Four Seasons" (1799-1801), were the most successful.
Haydn, who was widely acclaimed throughout Europe, was in his twilight years, and after 1802, his creative inspiration dried up. But many cultural associations and societies were proud of Haydn's participation, and he was invited to join the Apollo Society in Paris, and then became an honorary member of the Society of Music Lovers in St. Petersburg, where he made his last public appearance on March 27, 1808, when Genesis was performed again in Vienna.
In one of his earliest vocal works, the Little Mass in F major, the theme of the "Prayer for Mercy" movement is joyful and exultant, and the famous "Eulogy for the Blessed Virgin" is full of humane flavors; while the Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross, a seven-movement orchestral work (later to include soloists and choruses), leaves the deepest impression on the last words of Christ, the last of which are the last of the seven words of Christ. The deepest impression is the simulated earthquake in the last movement. All these show that Haydn's works were oriented to reality and life, even in his religious music. Haydn inherited the achievements of his predecessors and established the norms of the symphony, which is why some people call him the "father of the symphony".
Haydn wrote no fewer than 104 symphonies in his lifetime (some estimate as many as 150). His early symphonies were mostly on the subject of recreation and entertainment, and their form was close to that of chamber music; from the 1870s onwards he absorbed more of the achievements of the North German school, and they have a deeper content and a classical style, often serious and humorous at the same time. For example, the Forty-fifth Symphony ("Farewell", 1772) and the "Paris Symphonies" composed in the 1980s (some say that they were written for the religious concerts, while others say that they were written for the Olympic concerts, but this is still inconclusive) are richer in lyrical tunes, more vivid and more interesting, and their orchestration techniques are more mature. Among them, the sound of the sub-title of the 1st movement of Symphony No. 83 (1785) is like a hen clucking, and it is known as the "Hen" Symphony. The theme of the last movement of Symphony No. 83 (1786) sounds like a heavy-footed and clumsy bagpipe dance, so it is called the Bear Symphony. The 85th Symphony (1785) was named the Queen's Symphony because it was favored by the Queen of France. Most of Haydn's 12 "London Symphonies" were composed in the later period, with passionate and unrestrained thematic melodies, energetic rhythms, and the application of lively and bright country dance material and simple and delicate polyphonic treatment. Four of them have earned nicknames: Symphony No. 94 (Stunned, 1791), Symphony No. 00 (The Army, 1793-1794), Symphony No. 01 (The Clock, 1793-1794), Symphony No. 03 (Drums, 1795). These 12 "London Symphonies" mark the highest achievement of Haydn's symphonies.
Haydn created a new dominant style of symphony and developed polyphony on the basis of functional harmony. He rejected the formal and mysterious nature of the old polyphony and replaced it with a frank and vivid musical language; Haydn perfected the form of the four-movement sonata symphonic suite, so that the four movements of the work embody a unified artistic conception and express all aspects of life; Haydn developed the structure of the sonata Allegro and tended to use the introduction which contrasted strongly with the theme from the aspect of tempo and tonality, and the unfolding section gained remarkable The development of the unfolding section gained prominence, establishing the developmental principle of unfolding with short motifs, which directly inspired Beethoven.
Haydn never wrote a symphony with a title, except for a few works such as Morning, Afternoon, and Night, and the titles such as Hen, Bear, and Stunned were nicknames added by others.
Quartets Haydn's string quartets are second only to his symphonies in importance, and he wrote more than 80 string quartets (the last of which was unfinished), most of them joyous and passionately lyrical. 10 or so string quartets written during the 1950s clearly show the influence of the Classical Dance Suite in their five-movement arrangements. The 4-movement form was established from the Seventeenth String Quartet (1771) onwards, with few exceptions in subsequent works. In some of his string quartet works the middle two movements are switched. the 6 Russian Quartets (1781), including "The Bird" and "Hello", which he wrote for the Crown Prince of Russia, Grand Duke Paul, have a harmonic instead of a minuet as the 2nd movement. the 6 Sun Quartets, written in 1772, have an increased polyphonic element, and 3 of them end in a complex fugue. Haydn's string quartets began to develop the "principle of dialogue", i.e., the narration of the theme is placed in each voice, as if it were a conversation between four people, with polyphony based on the dominant harmony, which changed the earlier mechanical situation of emphasizing the first violin voice and treating the rest of the voices as a single accompaniment. (1797) "Sunrise" (1797) and other eight string quartets were given more vivid rhythmic vitality, richer harmonic splendor, the theme of the Romantic character and rich folk characteristics, comparable to the "London Symphony".
Sonatas and Concertos Haydn's 52 piano sonatas were written mainly for teaching and personal performance, and most of them are simple and a little mediocre. Haydn's earliest piano sonatas usually do not use the sonata Allegro form, with a minuet in the final movement. Later, Haydn imitated the sonatas of C.P.E. Bach, the master of the North German school of music. 1771 Haydn was influenced by the "rave movement", and wrote the bold and slightly sentimental Sonata in C minor, the final movement is not the customary joyful end, but a violent outburst of the culmination of the 80's Haydn was very influenced by Mozart, and he was very much influenced by Mozart's melodic style and structure. Influenced by Mozart, he attached great importance to the achievements of Mozart's piano sonatas. The Sonata in E-flat Major, composed in 1789-1790, and the last Sonata in E-flat Major of the late period are spirited and agitated, with a larger emotional amplitude, closer to Beethoven's style.
Haydn wrote more than 20 concertos, but this was not Haydn's main area of composition, although the Piano Concerto in D major (1784) and the Cello Concerto in D major (1783) are still frequently performed. Haydn's Piano Trio String Trio, Piano Variations, and Piano Fantasy are not comparable to his Symphony and String Quartet.
Other works Haydn wrote no famous dramatic music; most of his 18 operas are small comedies, including The World in the Moon (1777) The Long Day's Journey (1780), The Deserted Island (1779), Orlando Palladino (1782), and Almeida (1783). These operas have long been forgotten, and several cannot even be found in score. They are now being excavated and studied.
Haydn wrote a number of vocal works, including eight oratorios and twelve masses, and is best known for his later oratorios, Genesis and The Four Seasons. The verses of Genesis are taken from the English poet J. Milton's Paradise Lost, with movements 1 and 2 recounting God's creation of all things up to mankind, and movement 3 recounting Adam and Eve living happily ever after in an earthly paradise. Haydn transforms the phenomena and ecology of the natural world into a musical picture, with the cooing of doves and the roaring of lions, and Adam and Eve singing a harmonic and pure duet. His final masterpiece, The Four Seasons, is a purely secular oratorio, with a script adapted from a poem of the same name by the English poet J. Thomson. The four movements, symbolizing spring, summer, autumn, and winter, express the labor and joys of the peasants, and express their innocent and simple emotions.
Haydn's music is of immortal value because it is oriented to reality and life, with a fresh, vigorous and inspiring atmosphere; and because it laid down the norms of symphonies and chamber music of the classical period in Europe in terms of compositional techniques, thus forming the fine tradition of German and Austrian music that has lasted for a long time.
Haydn's natural voice led him to be chosen at the age of eight by the choir of the famous St. Stephen's Church in Vienna. Here he studied music theory and piano as diligently as a fish out of water. As he grew older, from the age of 16, his sweet singing voice began to unfortunately become gradually hoarse. 1749 one day, the Austrian Empress in the appreciation of St. Stephen's Church choir's beautiful chorus, suddenly from the chorus came out a very incongruous strange sound, the Empress on the spot sarcastic: "This child's voice sounds like a crow cawing! " From then on, Haydn ended his chanting forced to live on the streets and earn a living by playing the violin and selling it.
The next 10 years were hard years for him. He worked as a servant - janitor, letter carrier, shoe shiner, governess, opera writer, cellist and bandleader - and in 1759 he became musical director of the choir of Count Mohsin's chapel in Bohemia.
In 1760 he made a tragic mistake in marrying Keller, and incurred great suffering for himself. Keller was physically strong but intellectually weak, vicious and violent, and of very poor quality! She not only abused Haydn in life, but also often put her husband with a lot of effort to create music manuscripts randomly wipe the table and chairs, wrapping candy, making snack boxes and so on. In response, Haydn could only look up to the sky and sigh, which in turn would cause more trouble! Later, they finally went their separate ways.
In 1961, Haydn was arrested by one of Hungary's most powerful men, Paul. Anton. In 1961, Haydn was appointed deputy court musician by Prince Paul Anton Esterhazy, one of Hungary's most powerful men, and he spent the next 30 years of his life as a musical servant. The experience of being employed was a bitter one: at work, he had to wear a gold embroidered waistcoat, white pantyhose, a wig or braid, and a powdered face. Every day, before and after lunch, they had to wait in the living room for the master's instructions about the day's musical program. In terms of composition, they must write musical works on time and within the specified date according to the master's propositions or requirements. In addition, he had to supervise the discipline of the orchestra, look after each instrument, give lessons to new singers, improve the orchestra, and so on. Haydn once wrote sadly, "It is painful for me to sit in my wilderness with hardly any human beings with me ...... In recent days I have not known whether I am a music leader or a theater ticket inspector ...... It is sad to realize that it is often a slave ......" .
"He inhabited such a world despite the fact that he was sometimes angered by the constraints imposed on him by the palace's comfortable life. A world that doubted neither the supremacy of princes nor the genius of great artists in uniform. With regard to his position in the house of Esterhazy, his own final assessment suggests that the favorable conditions outweighed the unfavorable ones. 'The Prince was always pleased with my work. Not only was I constantly encouraged, but as a conductor of an orchestra I could experiment, observe what produced and what diminished the effect, I could improve, replace, make additions and deletions, I could boldly do as I liked, I was isolated, no one came to disturb or torment me, I was forced to become an 'original talent.' "
No doubt was ever expressed as to Haydn's musical genius, but strange things have happened in which the artist was confronted with the artist himself and wondered whether he was Haydn or not. His stubby, short stature and ungainly appearance caused Duchess Donne, who had always loved Haydn's music, to ask, out of breath, when she first saw him, "Are you the real Haydn? ......" In spite of his appearance, our maestro was kind, simple, humorous and approachable, and was affectionately and wryly called "Papa Haydn" by his close friends and admirers.
On one occasion, he received an unexpected guest, the butcher. As soon as they met, the guest respectfully removed his hat and reverently requested, "Dear Master, my dearest little daughter is about to be married, which is a momentous event for me. I am filled with gratitude to ask you to write me a most beautiful minuet. To whom else could such a great request go but to you?" The kind and sincere Haydn at once promised with all his heart. On the appointed day, he did write an elegant Minuet in C Major, and the butcher took away the precious gift with great thanks.
A few days later, while the composer was writing at his desk, a deafening noise suddenly erupted outside his window, startling Haydn! It took him a while to react: it was someone playing music. What kind of tune was it?...... With a curious heart, the master listened carefully for half a day before finally coming to a realization: oh my god! Isn't this exactly the "Minuet in C Major" that he composed a few days ago? He rushed to the window and looked out, only to see a strong bull standing on the steps, with golden ribbons hanging from its horns, the smiling butcher stood aside, behind him was his daughter and son-in-law who were full of joy, and a team of wandering entertainers was blowing and playing vigorously! The butcher came forward solemnly and said earnestly, "Honorable Maestro, there is nothing better for a butcher than to show his gratitude for a beautiful minuet with a sturdy bull."
During Haydn's 30 years at court, the Esterhazy palace changed hands twice (Paul Anton, who called Haydn to the court, died in 1762). Prince Anton, who called Haydn to the court, died in 1762, and his successor, Prince Nikolai, fell ill in 1790), and when the new master, who succeeded him in 1790, hired him only as a titular musical director, Haydn was freed and moved to Vienna.
In 1791, at the invitation of England, Haydn visited London. During this time, he attended a concert honoring the late composer Handel. When Handel's masterpiece "Hallelujah" echoed in the hall, Haydn, who was nearly 60 years old, was so excited that he suddenly threw up his arms and shouted, "Handel is the forefather of us all!" Then, like a small child, he wept, and the entire audience stood in awe!
Haydn died in Vienna on May 31, 1809, at the age of 77 years. The body was buried in St. Max Cemetery.
The German composer Wagner (1813-1883), commenting on Haydn, said that he was seen as subservient and servile because of his lifelong quest for a quiet and comfortable life and his attempts to remain in a position of popularity.
Haydn is not like Mozart, who dared to fight against the feudal forces, and even less than Beethoven, who heroically took the initiative to launch a fierce attack on the reality of the Mexican cicada! Haydn is Haydn, although he sometimes feel pain for the humiliation of the situation, but can rest on his laurels, self-congratulation. His musical style is just like his personality: optimistic, affectionate, sincere, bright and humorous.
Haydn is regarded as the "father of the symphony" and the "father of the string quartet". Neither the symphony nor the string quartet was created by him, but the two titles are not overstated, for it was under his nurturing that these two important genres of instrumental music moved from their infancy to maturity.
In the string quartet, he used the "speaking principle," in which the voices echo each other as if in conversation, with both melodic clarity and polyphonic beauty. Mozart said, "It was from Haydn that I first learned the true method of writing a quartet." In the symphonies, he "established the principle of scherzo development with short motifs unfolding dynamically, abolished the tradition of the digital bass, and began to establish the principles of modern orchestral organization and orchestration." All of this was a great inspiration for Mozart and Beethoven.
The number of Haydn's works is staggering: 104 symphonies; 77 string quartets; 180 trios of various kinds; 50 piano sonatas; 14 operas; two oratorios; and a large number of smaller vocal and instrumental works. Among them, the more famous masterpieces are: "Symphony No. 45" (Farewell Abschied), "Symphony No. 92" (Oxford), "Symphony No. 94" (Surprise), "Symphony No. 100" (Military), "Symphony No. 101" (Clock), "Symphony No. 103" (Drum-roll), "Symphony No. 100" (Drum-roll), "Symphony No. 100" (Clock), "Symphony No. 100" (Drum-roll), "Symphony No. 100" (Clock), "Symphony No. 100" (Drum-roll), "Symphony No. 100" (Drum-roll). Drum-roll), Symphony No. 104 (LondonLondon); String Quartets Nos. 3, 17, 20, 64, 76, 77; oratorios The Creation and The Seasons.
Haydn:
The Cello Concerto No. 1 was composed between 1765 and 1767, when Haydn, who was working at Esterházy Castle, was in his thirties and had just become the leader of the orchestra of the court of Prince Nikolai Esterházy. Therefore, this concerto is characterized by young Haydn's bright, elegant and humorous style, and is also artistically mature. Contemporaries Mozart and Beethoven did not write a cello concerto, so Haydn's work can be called representative of the cello concerto at that time.
Haydn
[edit]
ranz Joseph Haydn [1732.3.31-1809.5.31] Austrian composer. Born in the countryside, he received his musical initiation at the age of 6. At the age of 8, he became a church choirboy and studied culture and music, and served as the Count's court musician from 1758 to 1766. From 1758 to 1766, he was the head musician of the Earl's court, where he composed a large number of musical works. 1791 and 1794, he traveled to England twice, conducting orchestras and composing music. He received an honorary doctorate of music from Oxford University in London.
Haydn was one of the leading figures of the Viennese classical school. His compositions are vast and wide-ranging, spanning all areas of vocal and instrumental music. His early works were in the transition from the Baroque to the classical style, and since then his extensive musical practice has led to the formation of modern symphonies and quartets, and a two-register orchestra system based on a four-part string orchestra, which he perfected after the 1990s. The music is rigorously structured and rhythmically energetic, with stylistic characteristics typical of the classical school.
Haydn's personal character is pure and cheerful, friendly and humorous, with a strong sense of life. His major works include: 108 symphonies, piano concerto, violin concerto 2, cello concerto 2, horn concerto, with pipe wheel rubbing violin concerto 5, organ concerto 8, string quartet 82, piano trio 30, playful music 125, string trio 56, keyboard music sonata 52, variations of 5, 20 operas, oratorio 6, 8 Cantatas, 14 Masses, and a large number of chorales, songs, and song changes.
Beethoven Ludwig Van, the world's greatest composer, is known as "The Great Sage of Music". He was born in 1770 in Bonn, Germany, and was originally from Flanders. Both his grandfather and father worked as electors in Cologne. His alcoholic father forced him to practice keyboard instruments for long hours, hoping that his son would become a Mozartian prodigy. He left school at the age of eleven. At thirteen, he became a harpsichordist in the court orchestra (conducted by Nefer), at fourteen he became the second organist of the court, and at eighteen he became a viola player in the opera orchestra.
He showed musical talent from an early age, and his debut was published in 1783. As a young man, he visited Vienna, where he met Mozart, but their relationship was a fleeting one, and in 1792 Beethoven returned to Vienna for a period of study with Haydn (the German composer known as the "Father of the Symphony") - the leading composer in Vienna at the time. -the leading composer in Vienna at the time (Mozart, the "musical prodigy", had died that year). Beethoven spent the rest of his life in Vienna, the musical capital of the world at the time.
Beethoven's skill as a pianist impressed all. He was not only a successful performer but also an excellent teacher. He soon became a prolific composer. His compositions were quite popular, and at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six he was easily able to sell them to publishers.
Beethoven's deafness began to set in near his prime, and the young composer was understandably anxious about the ominous sign. At one point he thought about suicide.
The period between 1802 and 1815 is sometimes called the middle of Beethoven's creative life. During this period, his deafness was worsening, and he lived in seclusion ever since. His worsening deafness gave people the false impression that he was a misanthrope. He made love to several girls of his own age, but all seemed to end in misery. He never married.
Beethoven continued to compose a great deal of music. But as the years passed, he paid less attention to the music of his day, which was so popular with musical audiences. But he continued to be successful.
Beethoven reached the age of 50 when he became completely deaf. As a result, he stopped performing on stage and became even more solitary and eccentric. He was not as prolific as he had been, and his work was difficult to read. At that time he composed mainly for himself and for some ideal future audience. He is said to have told one critic that his work was "not for you but for a future generation".
To say that this most gifted of composers beyond time and space suffered from deafness would be to say that it was a most unmitigated mockery of fate, and to say that Beethoven continued to ensure the quality of his work with a kind of superhuman perseverance in spite of the pain of his deafness is an inspirational, almost unbelievable, feat. But the truth is even more surprising than it seems: Beethoven actually composed music during his years of total deafness that exceeded the caliber of his earlier works. The works he composed in his later years are generally considered to be the greatest masterpieces of his life. He died in Vienna in 1827 at the age of 57.
Beethoven composed a large number of works, including nine symphonies, 32 piano sonatas, five piano concertos, ten piano and violin sonatas, a series of string quartets, vocal compositions, theater pieces, and many other pieces. But more important than the quantity of his numerous scores is their quality. His compositions are an organic blend of perfect imagery and spirited emotion. Beethoven tugged at the heartstrings of people with his playing, and they no longer considered instrumental music a secondary art.
Beethoven was a creative composer, and many of the changes he brought to music have had a lasting effect. He enlarged the size of the orchestra, increased the length of symphonies and broadened their scope. He proved that the piano was extremely versatile and contributed to making it a first-rate instrument. Beethoven represented a shift in music from the classical to the romantic. His works have inspired many romantic compositions.
Beethoven was a great influence on many later composers, including a variety of stylistic differences such as Brahms, Wagner, Schubert and Tchaikovsky. He also blazed the trail for Berlioz, Gustav, Mahler, Strauss and many others.
Beethoven's ranking in this volume seems clearly deserving of the top spot over any other composer. Although Johann Sebastian Bach almost shared his fame, Beethoven's compositions had a wider and more numerous audience than Bach's, and Beethoven made many innovations that had a more profound impact on later musical developments than did Bach's works.
Generally speaking, political and moral ideas can be expressed more easily and clearly in words than in music, so literature is a more influential field of art than music. It is on this basis that Beethoven ranks lower than Shakespeare, even though he is the most prominent figure in the history of music. In comparing Beethoven and Michelangelo, I am strongly influenced by the fact that most people spend far more time listening to music than looking at paintings and statues. So I think that in general composers of music are more influential than painters and sculptors, if both are equally renowned in their respective fields. All in all, it seems appropriate to place Beethoven roughly between Shakespeare and Michelangelo.
Beethoven's symphonies centered on the heroes of the revolutionary struggle, and he placed the heroic theme at the forefront of his symphonic compositions. From Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, Symphony No. 5, Symphony No. 6, Symphony No. 7, Symphony No. 9, we can see that these works depict the activities and thoughts of the hero, the hero and the revolutionary struggle, the hero and the nature, the hero and the people, the hero and the victory, the hero and his inner world from various sides, etc., and these heroic tones, which are rich in heroism, mold the hero in the middle of the people, and show the hero's feelings. in the midst of the people, showing them fighting for the realization of a just cause, even sacrificing themselves, until they win the struggle.
Beethoven's symphonies are mostly in the form of expanded sonatas, and his creations are broad, grand, profound, contrasting and rich in diverse images, and in the treatment of the form have achieved a high degree of unity of the work as a whole, and in the creation of the original symphony of the third movement of the minuet into a harmonic, the opera on the conflicts in the world of people through the struggle for victory in the dramatic The dramatic approach of the opera to the conflict in the world through the victory of the struggle was applied to the symphony, and the chorus was even added to the Ninth Symphony, which enlarged the expressive ability and atmosphere of the symphony. In addition, in the creation of symphonies, Beethoven made bold innovations in orchestration, established the position of clarinet in the orchestra, used four trombones in the Ninth Symphony, etc., which formed a novel style and started a new field, and fully expressed his inner world with this innovative form of music, reflecting the progressive trend of the society at that time, and developing the music of the European Classical School to its highest peak, and creating a new era for the 19th century. the highest peak, created the 19th century European Romantic music of the precedent.
When Beethoven died in 1827, many friends and admirers came to offer their condolences. Beethoven was buried in the Waehringer Friedhof cemetery. Literary giant Grillparzer once said in his eulogy "Beethoven gave everything he had to the multitudes, and from them he gained nothing, so he turned away from them." The one thing that will make Beethoven rest in peace is that Schubert was also buried here in 1828 to be with him. A Schubert garden (Schubertpark) was built next to the Wehringer cemetery in honor of Schubert, a talented young musician. Today, this Schubert garden on Wehringerstrasse is a place where many tourists linger.
Address: W ringer Stra submission, 1180 Wien
In 1888, the coffins of the two masters of music were moved together to the central mausoleum. Today, Beethoven is buried in the Central Mausoleum's Celebrity Cemetery, 32A, in grave 29.
Address: Zentralfriedhof, Simmeringer Hauptstra?e 234, 1110 Wien
In 1880, the admirers of Beethoven also built a monument to him. Since then, the area has been renamed Beethovenplatz. The statue of Beethoven is surrounded by nine cherubs, symbolizing the nine symphonies immortalized by the master musician.

Blue Danube Waltz, Op. 314 (An der sch?nen blauen Donau, Walzer, op. 314), the famous Austrian musician, known as the "King of the Waltz", Johann Strauss Jr. Strauss, Jr. It was composed in 1866 and has been called the "second national anthem of Austria".
The full title of the piece is "Waltz by the Beautiful Blue Danube". The title is taken from the repetition of the last line of each stanza of a poem by the poet Karl Beck: "Thou art sentimental, thou art young, beautiful, meek and good-natured, like gold shining in the mine, where the truth awakens, beside the Danube, beside the Danube, by the Danube, by the beautiful blue Danube. Sweet-smelling flowers spit their fragrance, soothing the shadows and wounds of my heart The flowers in the barren bushes are still open, and the nightingale's song throats sing, By the Danube, by the beautiful blue Danube."
