Exploring Joseph Haydn's career, Nicholas Mathew delves into critical issues surrounding the Enlightenment and Romanticism, as well as the connections between late-eighteenth-century culture, capitalism, and colonialism. The book chronicles Haydn's journey from the Esterházy court to his entrepreneurial ventures in London and Vienna, culminating in his status as a musical icon. Mathew prompts readers to reflect on the cultural and political legacies of European modernity, questioning how to preserve its moral promise amidst its failures and the economic histories influencing our understanding of music.
