Fran Josef Haydn was one of the best-loved composers of the eighteenth century.  His string quartets, symphonies, concertos,  masses, keyboard, and chamber music all became models of their genres. Haydn encapsulated the eighteenth-century ideal of well articulated organization, balance of resources with enough rotation to avoid blandness, and a critical ear.  The music was famously good-natured and found an easy reception.

Yet Haydn himself never received the praise for his operas he would have wished for.  Many were written for performance in Eisenstadt, which his employer's wife was an Italian noblewoman. His operas are more approachable today than they were in his time.  Some, on texts by Carlo Goldoni, are comic.

Unlike other major composers of his generation, Haydn was not honored with a catalogue or a complete edition of works in the nineteenth century. The reasons for this are many and varied.  Haydn's chamber music was printed in short editions by scattered publishers, each with a different system for numbering both works and editions. The Hoboken catalogue does its job well but it often difficult to link up with random editions. (See further remarks under String Quartets.)  A comprehensive edition is not nearing completion.
