Haydn's Big "Surprise"
Perhaps more than any other music composer, Franz Joseph Haydn is known for his wit. The most popular example is found in his Surprise Symphony when his light, simple melody is suddenly interrupted by a loud chord that "surprises" the audience. New lessons and resources celebrate our featured composer and his Surprise Symphony.
