there's no hidin' haydn

Among the constellation of seminal classical composers, one star that shines brightly is Franz Haydn. This lovely, staggeringly informative site is a fitting tribute to the Austrian musical master. First, make a selection from the drop-down menu on the site's home page. Pick Biography, for example, and you'll get a not just a few perfunctory paragraphs tracing Haydn's life, but an in-depth, multichaptered literary outpouring. I can't imagine you'll leave the text with too many unanswered questions, but in the off chance you do, you'll also find directories to some of the best books and websites for additional information. A carefully-crafted labor of love, this is the ne plus ultra of Haydn on the Internet. Don't miss it.
