When did Haydn go to London twice?

Haydn visited London twice in 179 1 and 1794.

When Haydn came to London in 179 1, he was surprised to find that anyone who could afford a ticket could come to his concert. At that time, in Vienna, the symphony was played in the grand ballroom of the aristocratic mansion, and it was only invited to participate. In London, tickets for performances that don't want to attract attention are only allowed to be transferred to ladies and gentlemen, and others are open to everyone.

Haydn appreciated this very much. He composed a new piece for every concert in London and conducted it on the keyboard. He once said: I have been with many emperors and noble gentlemen, and I have received countless praises from them, but I don't want to be close to such people. I prefer to be with people in the same class.

The characteristics of Haydn's music:

The most important feature of Haydn's music is to expand the subtle and simple music theme into a grand structure. His music is usually strong and full, and the key plot in a movement often unfolds quickly. Haydn's composition practice also influenced Mozart and Beethoven. Beethoven's initial works are often played in a long and loose way, but later he used Haydn's method in the so-called middle period, and gradually developed a highly organic musical structure on a very simple tone.
