Etymology
Haydn is an Austrian family name that likely comes from an old German word for 'heath' or 'open land', so picture someone from the countryside. A helpful way to remember the name is to imagine Joseph Haydn, the Austrian 'father of the symphony', composing clear, balanced music in calm rural surroundings.
