Divertimento in D, Hob. XVI:19 Haydn wrote his Divertimento in D in 1767. First published in 1788 by Artaria, as no. 2 of a Tre Sonate book, the piece has subsequently been catalogued as Op. 53/2 or Hob. XVI:19, the last one being the norm for Haydn music. It is sometimes titled sonata instead of divertimento. Franz Joseph Haydn, known as Joseph Haydn, was an Austrian composer, one of the most prolific and prominent composers of the Classical period. He is often called the "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet" because of his important contributions to these forms. He was also instrumental in the development of the piano trio and in the evolution of sonata form. A lifelong resident of Austria, Haydn spent much of his career as a court musician for the wealthy Esterházy family on their remote estate. Isolated from other composers and trends in music until the later part of his long life, he was, as he put it, "forced to become original". At the time of his death, he was one of the most celebrated composers in Europe
