[NEW COURSE] No composer did as much as Franz Joseph Haydn to create and develop the Classical symphony and quartet. “Papa” Haydn had a wonderful nature and a great sense of humor which shows in his music. Using a series of lectures by Robert Greenberg as core material, we will explore the life and the music of this foundational composer whose 104 symphonies, 68 string quartets, and 62 piano sonatas are widely played today. (His 123 baryton trios are not popular, but we will sample one). We will have a live music presentation with performers from the Eastman School of Music. Join us for this broad introduction to the life and the creations of this giant of Western music. Audio/Visual, Lecture
