Franz Joseph Haydn (Austria 1732-1809)
"Genesis" has a high artistic value, full of light and joy, and is original in Haydn's instrumental works The characteristics of simplicity, smoothness and harmony have been reflected in a more affectionate and touching way. There are a large number of vivid descriptive passages and rich imaginations, such as "Sunrise", "Stream", "Bird Song", "Beast Portrait", as well as many novel chromatic harmony techniques in the overture, which became the inspiration for later Romantic composers. A source of inspiration. ——"Music World" Haydn can be called the most outstanding classical composer. Throughout his life, he grew and evolved along with new musical concepts, and he played a major role in shaping his style, which is unmatched by others. He can be regarded as a model of the Age of Enlightenment. Some people call him the father of symphony. Few composers are as free from neurosis as he is. His music always exudes a fresh and healthy atmosphere, and its musical quality can be on par with Mozart, or even higher. Since 1780, every symphony, quartet, mass and even oratorio written by Haydn has been praised and become a masterpiece that must be passed down. The richness of his creation is really impressive.
Haydn's "Genesis" is so elegant and sure, and so ingenious, rich in gems, clear and beautiful, that it makes people listen to it like a spring breeze, like drinking fine wine. It is full of masculine ingenuity, charm and vitality. Although Mozart is bolder than Haydn in terms of tunes, Haydn is more adventurous than Mozart in choosing tunes. This piece of music, which belongs to Haydn's later works, contains more expectations for the Romantic Era, but the most important thing is the directness and clarity of its music, as well as its care for life and art. Here we can hear the piety of the soul, the pure loneliness and melancholy, the truth, goodness and beauty in heaven, the brightness and joy of brightness and extinction. Haydn's musical talent endowed this famous song with a heavenly and moving brilliance, allowing this soul-soothing hymn to transcend its original religious meaning and rise to the beauty of art and the trembling of the soul. Under the turbid sky, we long for such holy music as we long for a drop of mountain holy water to baptize our hearts. The deeply moving "Genesis" can purify the soul and give people space for meditation. This song from heaven is the warmest healing music. It is like a beacon in the wind and waves, leading us back to our peaceful home.
