Clear storytelling and engaging artwork reveal the story behind Joseph Haydn’s composition of The Farewell Symphony.
An engaging look at the inspiration behind Haydn’s Farewell Symphony.
In 1772, the blustery, bellowing Prince Nicholas of Esterhazy moves his life–and his musicians–to his summer estate and keeps them separated from their families for months. The royal music director, Joseph Haydn, appeals to the prince on their behalf. After being rebuffed by the prince, Haydn composes a symphony to show him how much the musicians miss home and family.
