Haydn Fools' Day!
Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast - En podkast av Joshua Weilerstein - Torsdager
In honor of April Fools' Day, we're taking a look at the music of the underrated jokester, Joseph Haydn! Haydn's music is sometimes thought of as just light entertainment, but it is truly some of the greatest music ever written. We'll talk this week about humor in music, how it works, and how Haydn synthesized humor, seriousness, and craft in his huge body of work.
