When this man's voice changed at age seventeen, he was thrown out of his choir into the streets. He served as Kapellmeister for the Austrian aristocrat Count Morzin before employment by a much wealthier family. One of his most famous symphonies written for Nikolaus Esterhazy instructs the musicians to depart as they finish their solos. His love of practical jokes is apparent in his music, such as a sudden loud chord in the middle of a soft passage which then continues as if no interruption had occurred. During his time in London, FTP, this composer premiered twelve symphonies including the Drumroll, Military, and Surprise.          |
