| Summary | "Joseph Haydn: Servant and Master" by Herbert F. Peyser is a biographical account of the life and work of the renowned composer Joseph Haydn, written in the mid-20th century. This work provides insight into Haydn’s remarkable journey as a musician, reflecting on his dual roles as a servant to the aristocracy and as a master of his craft. It explores his early years, musical development, and the circumstances surrounding his prolific career, illustrating how his background and circumstances shaped his music and persona. At the start of the book, the foreword sets the tone by acknowledging that this account won’t delve deeply into Haydn's extensive repertoire or detailed analysis of his compositions. Instead, it offers a broad overview of Haydn’s life, emphasizing his enduring optimism and the influences of his upbringing in a modest family, which paradoxically formed the foundation of his later success. The opening also introduces intriguing anecdotes about his early life, notably his musical talent as a child and his struggles as he navigated the complexities of the music world, including his service under various patrons, ultimately illuminating how these experiences contributed to his legendary status in classical music.
