ExclusiveHaydn: String Quartets, Op. 64, No. 5 In D Major, The Lark - IV. Finale Vivace

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Franz Joseph Haydn: String Quartets, Op. 64, No. 5 In D Major, The Lark - IV. Finale Vivace. This beautiful piece was played by Musopen String Quartet. It has common licence (Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal) and is provided through musopen.org.

Haydn was known among his contemporaries for his amiable and optimistic personality. He had a sense of humour that was evident in his love of pranks and is often audible in his music. He was particularly appreciated by the Esterházy court musicians under his command, as he fostered a cordial working atmosphere and effectively represented the musicians' interests vis-à-vis their employer.

Haydn was a devout Catholic who often took up his rosary when he got stuck on a composition, a habit he found helpful. When he finished a composition, he used to write ‘Laus Deo’ (Praise be to God) or a similar phrase at the end of the manuscript.

The video was captured in our garden by Christian Schlegel and edited by Wenjing Ma.
