The bumpy relationship between Beethoven and Haydn
Travelling back to Vienna from London, Haydn had suitcases filled with new music.
Among them were also recycled scores he had written for the lira organizzata, a combination of a hurdy-gurdy and a small organ. He also used this music to stir up the warlike English public in his ‘Military’ Symphony. Furthermore, he met Beethoven in Bad Godesberg and promised him all sorts of things.
