| Summary | "Famous Composers and Their Works, Vol. 2" by Paine, Klauser, and Thomas is a historical musical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses specifically on the life and contributions of notable composers, revealing their artistic journeys and significant works, with an emphasis on Franz Joseph Haydn in the initial chapters. The opening of the work dives into the early life of Franz Joseph Haydn, detailing his humble beginnings in Rohrau, Austria, and his family's background. It discusses his early musical development, the influence of his parents, and significant figures like his cousin Johann Mathias Frankh, who recognized Haydn's talent and facilitated his education. As Haydn moves to Vienna at age eight to join the choir of St. Stephen's Cathedral, the introduction highlights his struggles and determination, setting the stage for his remarkable journey in music amidst adversity and the shaping of his future as a composer.
