about Music – The Art of Listening. Programme 70

--:--

We are progressing in our exploration of musical fingerprints today by looking at the music of Franz Josef Haydn, a Classical Period composer. We will do this for at least one more week, leading up to comparing the style of Haydn with that of Mozart.

I hope you will be with me for the journey!
