It is in the Classical period that the idea of the Equal Temperament scale finally becomes accepted and tonal. Tracing Haydn’s work over the six decades in which it was produced (roughly from 1749 to 1802), one finds a gradual but steady increase in complexity and musical sophistication, which developed as Haydn learned from his own experience and that of his colleagues. According to later testimony byMichael Kelly and others, the two composers occasionally played in string quartets together. Haydn soon shifted his emphasis in composition to reflect this (fewer operas, and more quartets and symphonies) and he negotiated with multiple publishers, both Austrian and foreign. Charles Burney reviewed the first concert thus: “Haydn himself presided at the piano-forte; and the sight of that renowned composer so electrified the audience, as to excite an attention and a pleasure superior to any that had ever been caused by instrumental music in England.”.

This may have encouraged Haydn to rekindle his career as a composer of “pure” music. He received the Doctor Honoris causa in the University of Oxford. Like Frankh before him, Reutter did not always bother to make sure Haydn was properly fed. While traveling to London in 1790, Haydn had met the young Ludwig van Beethoven in his native city of Bonn.

The Esterházy princes (Paul Anton, then from 1762–1790 Nikolaus I) were musical connoisseurs who appreciated his work and gave him daily access to his own small orchestra. There is reason to think that Haydn’s singing impressed those who heard him, because in 1739 he was brought to the attention of Georg von Reutter, the director of music in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, who happened to be visiting Hainburg and was looking for new choirboys.

During his illness, Haydn often found solace by sitting at the piano and playing “Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser”, which he had composed in 1797 as a patriotic gesture. Haydn was hugely impressed with Mozart’s work and praised it unstintingly to others.
