Haydn

by Karl Geiringer, Irene Geiringer

This book gives many facts unknown to the American reader, with special regard to the family and youth of the master. It arranges the material in such a way as to produce a picture of the unconventional and eternally young personality of man who is so deceptively known as "Papa Haydn." Following the biographical section of the book the author takes up a detailed discussion of the works of Haydn.
