Fun Fact:

orchestra in the Esterhazy court was well overdue
for some time off, so Haydn found a novel way to
inform the Prince. He composed a new symphony,
entitled the “Farewell Symphony” which
ended by the orchestra members departing the
stage one by one, leaving only Haydn and one
other musician on stage. The Prince got the hint
and the group began packing the next day!

Fun Fact:
One evening, Mozart was attending a party where
famous composer, Josef Haydn was present. Mozart bet a
case of champagne that Haydn could not play at sight, a
piece Mozart had just written. Haydn accepted, sat
down at the harpsichord and began to play. He had only
played a few bars when he had to stop, as the music
required him to play two notes at either end of the
keyboard and one right in the middle. He declared that
it was impossible to play with only two hands! Mozart
then took his place at the keyboard and when he got to
the “impossible” section, he bent down and played the
middle note with his nose! Haydn had to reluctantly
concede!
