Joseph Haydn and the Esterházy Court

Pages 3-8 | Published online: 03 Nov 2014

Bibliography

  • The standard modern account of Haydn's life and works is by H. C. Robbins Landon, Haydn. Chronicle and Works 5 vols (1976-80). It includes many documents from the Esterházy archives and contemporary accounts of court life. Four hundred years of court documents for the Esterházy family survive. While music historians have inves-tigated most, but by no means all, of the documents relating to Haydn's activities at the court, wider interest in the history of the family is sporadic. The following works contain valuable information on the Esterházy princes as patrons of the arts in general and as military, diplomatic and political figures: Rebecca Gates-Coon, The Landed Estates of the Esterházy Princes. Hungary during the Reforms of Maria Theresia and Joseph II (Baltimore 1994); Mayas Horányi, The Magnificence of Eszterheiza (Budapest 1962); and Jakob Perschy (ed), Die Fiirsten Ester/lazy. Magnaten, Diplomaten & Mazene [exhibition catalogue] (Eisenstadt 1995).
