He started working there at the age of nineteen.
Prince Esterhazy had Gregor Joseph Werner work on church music and appointed Joseph Haydn in charge of the orchestra.
For many years, Haydn was employed by the Esterhazy family in what we know today as Pecs, Hungary. A vary elaborate palace with marble floors and a concert hall. I believe he was in their employ for nearly 21 years.
Haydn worked for the Esterhazy family and was in charge of all the musicians at the estate and wrote music specifically for this family and its functions.

Haydn was very much influenced by developments made by Bach's son (C.P.E.Bach). Some major influences for Haydn included Johann Stamitz, Antonio Vivaldi and Handel. After hearing the work of Handel hadyn was inspired to try writing vocal music. Hope this helps! :)
Your statement makes no sense.
The Suprise Symphony is Franz Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 94. The famous "Suprise!" part is the second movement, but like all symphonies it has four movements in all.
Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Joseph Haydn and Michael Haydn just to name a few. (Chopin and Tchaikovsky were born long after Mozart died! But he did meet the other three - Joseph Haydn became a close friend).
It has been said that Haydn was so busy with his own work, composing such masterpieces as "The Creation," that he didn't take the time study and correct the exercises that he had assigned to Beethoven. But this opinion is based on the fact that only few of Haydn's corrections and comments are found on the exercises that have survived on paper. It is entirely possible that Haydn gave his comments to Beethoven verbally rather than in writing. So the charge that Haydn was negligent must be taken with a grain of salt. It should be remembered that Haydn and Beethoven had opposing temperaments and working habits. Haydn was always very orderly and neat, but Beethoven was disorganized and messy. Beethoven often seemed jealous of Haydn while Haydn was still active as a composer, offering Haydn due respect only after Haydn had been forced by advanced age into retirement.
