Esterházy family

The classical string quartet has a first and second violin, a viola and a cello. It was formalized by Franz Josef Haydn and perfected by him and Mozart. Nearly every classical composer since their time has written at least one string quartet.

Beethoven, for instance.

Prince Esterhazy had Gregor Joseph Werner work on church music and appointed Joseph Haydn in charge of the orchestra.

Franz Joseph Haydn

Haydn was a highly prolific composer of the Classical period. He has been known as the Father of the symphony and has been speculated to be W.A. Mozart's teacher, though this has not been proven and is controversial in some circles.

Vienna

Haydn was one of the most prolific and prominent composers of the Classical period. He is often called the "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet" because of his important contributions to these forms. He was also instrumental in the development of the piano trio and in the evolution of sonata form.

Handel

England

Without any doubt whatsoever William Camilleri is the world's best living Composer of music and I would say as a the Head of Music in a leading New York Music Dept that one listen to his music will transport you to another time and place, besides giving you an emotional impact I have never ever hear in my life in 20 years as Head of A&R at Sony Classical.

But don't take my advice- go and give yourselves a listen on his website

at the related link below (The Music of William Camilleri) and I am certain you will agree.

Keller. Haydn married Maria Anna Keller, the elder sister of his first love who had become a nun. She turned out to be a spendthrift, bad-tempered, unattractive, did not care for music and was unable to have children.

Beethoven and Haydn certainly did, Haydn taught Beethoven.

Between Beethoven and Mozart the picture is less certain, they may have met in Vienna in 1787, and some people think that Beethoven may even have had a few lessons from Mozart. However the records are not clear or contemporaneous.

Mozart and Hayden were great friends.

No he wasn't black nor was he ever called a "Moor" by Prince Esterhazy. These black revisionist never quit with their nonsense. Do your own research and never rely on a black revisionist to tell you anything historical. Pretty much anybody prior to photography according to these idiots are considered black to them. Whites just magically appeared when photography was invented.
