Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) is one of the most prolific and best-known Viennese composers during the Classical Period of music. Though he is often called Franz Joseph Haydn, he was never known by this name during his lifetime, and music purists often insist the “Franz” be dropped when referring to Haydn.
