FRANZ JOESPH HAYDN
THEN
(Franz) Joseph Haydn 31 March 1732 - 31 May 1809) was an Austrian composer of the Classical period. He was instrumental in the development of chamber music such as the piano trio and his contributions to musical form have earned him the epithets "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet".

Haydn spent much of his career as a court musician for the wealthy Esterházy family at their remote estate. Until the later part of his life, this isolated him from other composers and trends in music so that he was, as he put it, "forced to become original". Yet his music circulated widely and for much of his career he was the most celebrated composer in Europe.

He was a friend and mentor of Mozart, a teacher of Beethoven, and the older brother of composer Michael Haydn.

NOW

Franz Joesph Haydn is an energetic teen now, and he can't believe it. He's decided that if he's alive, he might as well use the time he has to have fun. He's a pretty happy-go-lucky guy, but when money is around, he turns into someone else, since he grew up impoverished in both lifetimes. It makes him nervous and he becomes snappy. He's generally humble though, never really showing people his work to others if they didn't ask. He doesn't really understand love, though a part of him really wonders.
The boy is very good at pulling at heartstrings if needed, but rarely does it, feeling that make people emotional to help him is wrong.
All in all he's a pretty cool guy.
