What is Joseph Haydn best music?
Haydn, in my opinion, was the best classical composer that ever lived (no offence, Mozart). Besides inventiong the modern string quartet and single-handedly changing the world of symphonies, he had amazing works. His 94th symphony 'The Surprise' is a must, the 2nd movement in it is absolutely wonderful. His string quartet Op 33 No. 3 'The Joke' is one of the best string quartets. His piano sonata No. 50 in C Major is also highly recommended, and so are all of his concertos, the best of which are the trumpet concerto in E-flat Major and his Piano Concerto No. 11 in D major (Both are the top of the concerti repertuar if you ask me).
