March 31 - Joseph Haydn (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Joseph Haydn (31 March 1732 – 31 May 1809) was one of the great composers of the late 18th century.

Willing and Abel

“In those [Bach-Abel] concerts, many celebrated guest artists appeared, and many works of Haydn received their first English performance.” Wikipedia

Herr Haydn, who knew there was wit in
The symphony he had just written,
Was able to cobble
A deal with Herr Abel
To get a performance in Britain.
