Nicely formed, witty and elegant. ... Rollin'& chillin'!!! Group is broadly based, thanks for stopping by! ... Now that we got your attention :D - a cheerful group of cosy proportions, dedicated to bubbly brothers JOSEPH and MICHAEL -- HAYDN ... ... (who do not only ''share'' in the *AWESOME* - but EACH ADDS EXTRA to it!) ... With heaps of other pickled Curiosities! (Feel FREE to suggest them!) .. While tipsy Michael, admired & frequently copied by Mozart, retained his dignity & cool with awesome FUGUES and major SACRAL works, frisky Joseph, true to the Form, Logic and Balance - wrote jolly gorgeous! concertos for *HURDY-GURDY* =P and Operas for Prince Nikolaus' *PUPPET* theatre. * ... Cricket sound ... * www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrewTu… (... Here's a hint: if it sounds ridiculous- it probably is; Jo's frequently using irony; making ACID jokes and poking fun out of his audience; after all, writing music-to-order can be rather depressing, especially in a mosquito ridden swamp combined with shortage of desirable women. Oh, the tragedy. ) While Mikey was pretty much dignified, stuck in his own demanding stylish branch, after all - he had to live up to the ultra-prominent position of Konzertmeister (etc.) in Salzburg - mostly autodidactic Jo had a bit of a bug up his aR$€ during the creative period and looked everywhere (chiefly in himself) for new expressions in music - seriously: stuck in a bog, bored out of his mind - was bound to invent Classicism. Q: What about Sammartini?!! A: ... OK - it was a joined effort ;) Even the tougher amongst us succumb to their Charm and good will. Albeit - most cheerful people are sometimes the saddest ... *Perpetually serene* Mike sends goosebumps & chills and makes blood curdle with REQUIEM in C (y. 1771): www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBV0oI… and all power to him for writing GREAT string quintets and various other wooing compositions including fun but nasty little canon opac.rism.info/index.php?id=6&… =P - which only shows that despite reaching for the heights, we are still most earthly beings - Jo's down-to-earth Wisdom rivals every first class philosopher: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il6lWL… ''Wein, Bad und Liebe soll dem Leben schädlich sein; doch wird das Leben frisch durch Liebe, Bad und Wein.'' (* Wine, bath and love should be harmful to life; but life becomes fresh by love, bath and wine - YES! *) ''... Depict Divinity through love and goodness'' * - From ecstatic Joy to Tears - - In a Twinkle of a phrase! -- Haydn brothers heartfelt MAGIC. - BRILLIANT! Peace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ___________________________________________ RULES: 1.)

Regarding style and era - one can't put music into shoe boxes - always too great a mix; of traditions, of influences ... However, there has to be some kind of order =P so that we find artworks we're looking for!

I had an idea for a rock opera once, called "The Madness of Kings"--the centerpiece would be a recitation of a poem written by King Henry VI of England while imprisoned in the Tower:
Kingdoms are but cares,
State is devoid of stay;
Riches are ready snares,
And hasten to decay.
Pleasure is a privy prick
Which vice doth still provoke;
Pomp, imprompt; and Fame a flame;
Power a smouldering smoke.
Who meaneth to remove the rock
Out of the slimy mud,
Shall mire himself, and hardly 'scape
The swelling of the flood."
