No, it was composed by Beethoven.

Polyphonic

He has three children

"Entertainer" was composed by Scott Joplin, an American composer and pianist known for his contributions to ragtime music. The piece is one of Joplin's most famous works and showcases his signature style, blending syncopated rhythms with melodic charm. It was published in 1902 and has remained popular in various forms, including adaptations for film and stage.

He did not.

Deviating from the counterpoint style in Baroque period, Haydn wrote many of his compositions in Galant style. He was the pioneer in emerging the string quartet genre. His introduction to classical style is well illustrated by his 104 symphonies and 84 string quartets.

Joseph Haydn and his brothers and sisters (Franz) Joseph Haydn was married with Maria nee Keller who hailed from Chlumetz in Bohemia. However, the marriage remained childless. Schmid writes that stories always abounded bout "illegitimate" children of Joseph Haydn (as well as illegitimate children of Haydn's father), and calls this an area "to be researched further" (at the time of Schmid's book). Haydn himself is cited as using his wife's inability to conceive as "justification" for his extra-marital adventures. In any case, the most persistently rumored natural son of Joseph Haydn was Alois Anton Nikolaus (also called Antonio) Polzelli, born April 22, 1783 in Süttör, the site of the Eszterháza Palace, as son of Haydn's mistress Aloisia Polzelli and, officially, her husband Anton Polzelli. The daughters of Antonio apparently were convinced that their real grandfather was the composer. In the 1870s, one of these daughters, Emilie, lived in relative poverty in Budapest as the wife of a Mr. Wölföl (or Wölfl, Wölfel). Two brothers of Joseph Haydn survived to adulthood. One of them, (Johann) Michael Haydn, born 1737 in Rohrau, became a well-known composer in his own right, lived and died (1806) in Salzburg, and was married with Marie Magdalena nee Lipp. Only one child sprang from this marriage, but it died as a baby. The other brother, Johann Haydn, born 1743 in Rohrau, never married (and is not known to have had any progeny). He was a singer in the Eszterházi orchestra, and died 1805 in Eisenstadt. Three sisters of Joseph survived to adulthood. The first of these was Anna Maria Franziska, born 1730 in Rohrau, died 1781 in Fertõszentmiklós (Sopron county, near Kapuvár). She was first (1750) married in Rohrau with Johann Vieltzwieser (Filzwieser), a widower, and secondly (1771) in Fertõszentmiklós with Jakob Traumbauer. The only known further descendents were from daughter Anna Maria Vieltzwieser, born 1751, who married Johann Michael Wimmer, an innkeeper in Fertõszentmiklós. One child of that marriage, Josepha Anna Wimmer, born 1778, was married with Joseph Apeller, a physician practicing madicine in Kapuvár. Therefore, any descendents possibly living today after Anna Maria Franziska Haydn, sister of the composer, might well only be via the line Joseph Apeller of Kapuvár and his wife Josepha Anna nee Wimmer. The second sister was Anna Maria Haydn, born 1739 in Rohrau, where she died in 1802. Anna Maria married 1757 in first marriage Johann Philipp Fröhlich, son of Lorenz and Gertrud Fröhlich of Rohrau, a blacksmith, and in second marriage 1777 Ignaz Raffler, son of Jakob and Maria Raffler, a blacksmith in Schönabrunn (which was also a border village near Rohrau, in the other direction than Pachfurth). There were numerous descendents >from Anna Maria, probably mostly or all from the first marriage (Fröhlich). These are the family names and locations from about 1780 onwards which might indicate possible descendents of Anna Maria nee Haydn: From the second marriage of father Mathias Haydn with Maria Anna nee Seder, no childen survived to adulthood.
