Riassunto

Excerpt from Haydn

T is, as a rule, inexpedient to begin a book with the peroration. Children are spared the physio of the moral till the have sucked in the sweetness of the tale. A ults may draw from a book what of good there is in It, and close it before reaching the chapter usually devoted to fine writing. But the case of Haydn is extraordinary. One can only sus tain interest in a biography of the man by an ever-present sense that he is scarcely to be written about. All an author can do is, in few or many words, to put a conundrum to the reader - a conundrum that cannot even be stated in exciting terms. This apparition and wonder-worker of the eighteenth century, Franz Joseph Haydn, is compact of para doxes and contradictions. Born a peasant, and remaining in thought and Speech a peasant all his days, he became the friend of princes.
