约瑟夫·海顿“爸爸”是个农民兼车轮修造匠的儿子。这工匠可不简单,他像滚车轮似的一口气生了十七个孩子,看来确实是个滚东西的好手。很明显,小乔(乔是约瑟夫的昵称,他的远房亲戚是个车匠,打从小就这样叫他)是个音乐天才,八岁被招进了维也纳圣斯蒂芬教堂的唱诗班。他在那里剪下了一个同学的辫子,因而名声大振。十七岁时,他在几天内突然倒嗓,无奈之下,只好决定另辟蹊径,将精力投入小提琴和羽管键琴。 Joseph Haydn “Daddy ” is a peasant and son of the Wheel Builder. This craftsman is not simple, he like a wheel-like breath gave birth to seventeen children, it seems really a rolling hand. Obviously, Joe (Joe is Joseph’s nickname, his distant relative is a carpenter, so called him from an early age) is a musical genius, was enrolled in the choir of St. Stephen’s Church in Vienna at the age of eight. Where he cut the dreadlocks of a classmate, which earned him a fame. At the age of seventeen, he suddenly fell his throat in a few days. In desperation, he decided to find another way to devote himself to the violin and the harpsichord.
