31 mai 1809 - ✝ H. J. Haydn

Description:

Haydn's condition had declined to the point that he became physically unable to compose. He suffered from weakness, dizziness, inability to concentrate and painfully swollen legs. Since diagnosis was uncertain in Haydn's time, it is unlikely that the precise illness can ever be identified, although it is suggested that he suffered from arteriosclerosis. (Age: 77)
