| Abstract | This book gives many facts unknown to the American reader, with special regard to the family and youth of the master. It arranges the material in such a way as to produce a picture of the unconventional and eternally young personality of man who is so deceptively known as "Papa Haydn." Following the biographical section of the book the author takes up a detailed discussion of the works of Haydn. |
