Everything you could ever want to know about the composer's lifetime and legacy. Andrew Clark, Financial Times By dipping in and out you get up-to-the minute scholarship in bitesize form. Andrew Clark, Financial Times

`By dipping in and out you get up-to-date-minute scholarship in bitesize form but you also get a much broader focus than a life-and-works study.' Andrew Clark, Financial Times `The latest volume in this excellent series has [...] a wealth of information' Classical Music `The 500-plus pages allow plenty of scope for in-depth treatment of individual topics. And there is barely an aspect of Haydn's music, life, milieu and influence that eludes David Wyn-Jones's shrewd editorial eye [...] This companion will prove an absorbing vade mecum for many years to come' BBC Music Magazine `Authoritative, accessible [...] this is indeed the first encyclopedia on the composer,and it is highly recommended for all devotees of Western concert music and their libraries' Library Journal (USA) `excellently written articles [...] highly recommendable book' Classical Music Magazine `This volume is a mine of information and commentary of the most varied sorts' W. Dean Sutcliffe, Music Teacher
