No. 13) Joseph Haydn (Born at Rohrau, Lower Austria, March 31, 1732; died at Vienna, May 31, 1809) Haydn wrote a set of six symphonies for a society in Paris known as the "Concert de la Loge Olympique." They were ordered in 1784, when Haydn was living at Esterhaz. Composed in the course of the years 1784-89, they are in C, G minor, E-flat, B-fiat, D, A. No. 1, in C, has been entitled "The Bear"; No. 2, in G minor, has been entitled "The Hen"; and No. 4, in B-flat, is known as "The Queen of France." The symphony played at this concert is the first of a second set, of which five were composed in 1787, 1788, 1790. If the sixth was written, it cannot now be identified.
