This Companion provides an accessible introduction to the musical work and cultural world of Joseph Haydn. Contributors provide chapters on Haydn and his contemporaries, his working environments, and his aesthetics. Chapters on the reception of his music explore keyboard performance practices, Haydn's posthumous reputation, recorded performances and images of his symphonies, and revivals of his operas. The book surveys the major genres in which Haydn wrote, including symphonies, string quartets, keyboard sonatas and trios, liturgical music, oratorios, miscellaneous vocal genres, and the lesser known operas composed for Eszterháza and London.
