Joseph Haydn was a prominent musical figure during the Classical era. He is highly recognized as a talented musical composer of various classical forms such as string quartet, sonata, concertos, operas, and symphony to name a few. His popularity rose during the mid 1700s when he was employed as a Kapellmeister for the Esterhazy family in 1766. Haydn’s musical works play a major role in the history of Classical music, specifically his contribution to symphony and string quartet areas of music.
