Hiw did Joseph haydn learn to play instruments?

Answer 1

As a teacher and a composer. Two of his more famous students were Mozart and Beethoven, and he created the form that we now refer to as the String Quartet. He also contributed materially to the development of the symphony, along with his older contemporary Karl Philipp Emannuel Bach. He composed prolifically and well in every musical form of his era, save Opera, though his oratorios are quite operatic in spots. His brother Michael Haydn was also a very well-regarded composer.

Answer 2

== == According to Haydn's biographer Griesinger, Haydn's earliest quartets were written for two violins, viola, and cello purely because of circumstance. A Baron von Furnberg hired Haydn to write chamber pieces for a group of his friends who played the above instruments. The works were successful and popularized their particular combination of instruments. While it is true that Haydn wrote music for use by his employers throughout his life, the early string quartets certainly have their background in the traditions of the trio sonata and quartetto concertante.

Answer 3

Haydn is known as the father of the String Quartet because he was the first one to perform in public with a string queartet. A string Quartet was not well viewed before Haydn. But when he started using it, then it became like a signature for the classical period.

Answer 4

Two violins, a viola and a 'cello. That's the standard constitution of any string quartet, not just Haydn's.
