This is a moderate generation, the form is not as large and complex as Baroque music, nor the personal dreams, pain, ideals and vision in romantic nineteenth century. People in this era is focus on the melody, main tonality of the music, because they thought that the purpose of music is to entertain each other together. Haydn is a representative composer of this era, so as his own bold and vigilant personality. He loves to have adventure but not as rebel as Mozart(Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,1756－1791). The way Haydn composed is also keeping to the working routine, stable but not rush. This deeply earned him respect and love from the people, and the music taste of the people in those days. You can feel the light and brisk music that Haydn wrote in his symphonies, chamber music, Mass and the two great oratorios. And no matter how long the earlier works were written, the way and the style never changes. He had written more than 120 symphonies over his life, especially when he hold a post in Paul Anton Esterhazy Orchestra for thirty years. He always experiment every composing possibilities in the music. Eventually, he had composed a series of great symphonies that people loved and established the form and the structure of the symphony. This earned him the title of “Father of the Symphony”
