He managed to save sufficient to purchase two volumes, (1907). Creator: Unknown
He managed to save sufficient to purchase two volumes, (1907). The young Haydn buys sheet music while studying at the choir school in Vienna:by dint of scraping and denying himself he managed to save sufficient to purchase two volumes, upon the outsides of which his eyes had often feasted as the books lay temptingly displayed upon the shelf of the second-hand bookseller. One of these works was Fuxs Gradus ad Parnassum (a treatise on composition and counterpoint), and the other Matthesons Vollkommene Capellmeister (the Complete Chapel-master). An episode from the life of Austrian composer Joseph Haydn (1732-1809). From " Story-Lives of Great Musicians", by F.J. Rowbotham. [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd, London, 1907]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of Austrian composer Joseph Haydn. Titled "He managed to save sufficient to purchase two volumes, (1907)", the image showcases a young Haydn standing outside a bookshop in Vienna's choir school. With determination etched on his face, he holds two precious volumes that he has just purchased. The caption reveals that Haydn's journey towards becoming a musical genius was not without hardships. Through scraping and denying himself, he saved enough money to buy these coveted books - Fuxs Gradus ad Parnassum and Matthesons Vollkommene Capellmeister. These works on composition and counterpoint had long enticed him from their perch on the second-hand bookseller's shelf. Haydn's story is one of resilience and passion for music. As a child prodigy studying at the choir school, he faced financial constraints but remained undeterred in pursuing his dreams. This snapshot offers us an intimate glimpse into his early struggles as well as his unwavering commitment to honing his craft. Captured by an unknown creator in 1907, this photograph serves as a testament to Haydn's determination and resourcefulness during the 18th century. It reminds us of the power of perseverance and how even small victories can pave the way for greatness in any field or profession.
