If you mean Franz Haydn, he is often called the Father of the Symphony or the father of the String Quartet. He was one of the most distinguished composers of the classical period and wrote over 340 hours of Classical Music, more than Bach, Handel, Mozart and Beethoven. In his time, he was known all over Europe and was considered to the the greatest living composer. He is famous for his Symphony 94, The Surprise and his epic Oratorio, The Creation, as well as many other great works

Haydn's best-known work is the second movement of his Symphony #94, known as the "Surprise Symphony." It starts with a simple eight-measure tune played softly, then repeated even more softly, followed by a sudden very loud "surprise" chord from the full orchestra.
