about Music – The Art of Listening. Programme 71

Loading player...

We are progressing in our exploration of musical fingerprints today by looking a second time at the music of Franz Josef Haydn, a Classical Period composer. We will do this for at least one more week, leading up to comparing the style of Haydn with that of Mozart.

Today there are two Symphonies and a String Quartet. And a couple of jokes.
I hope you will be with me for the journey!
