"This volume, the fourth of five, begins with Haydn's return to Austria in 1795, following his second visit to England. By then he was 63 and universally respected as the leading composer of his day. He now returned to the Esterhazy Court, as Kapellmeister to Prince Nicolaus II, with his status enhanced but with less onerous duties than during the years before 1790." - dust jacket. "A definitive and analytical work by one of the world's foremost authorities on Haydn. Seems certain to be one of the great documentary biographies of the century." - The Times (London).
