Primetime Creative Arts Emmys: Photos We Love

Haydn had a hard childhood: at six years old he had to work as a boy singer in a choir and after his voice broke he had to earn his money by playing dance music and serving as a butler. Becoming famous for his compositions Haydn was employed as "Kapellmeister" by Fuerst Esterhazy in Eisenstadt in 1761. For thirty years he served him and composed his pieces for the pleasure of the aristocrats; his musicians used to call him "Papa Haydn" as he was caring for them and was socially engaged. After the death of Esterhazy Haydn moved to Vienna leaving it only twice for London where he composed his "London symphonies".

I was never a quick writer, but composed with great care and efforts.

There was no one near to confuse me, so I was forced to become original.

I was cut off from the world. There was no one to confuse or torment me, and I was forced to become original.

I listened more than I studied... therefore little by little my knowledge and ability were developed.
