Joseph Haydn’s religious devotion is well known. He started his works – almost without exception – in the name of God and ended them with resounding thanks to the Lord. But what was the life of the pious person like in 18th century Vienna, how far did the practice of faith influence their life, how did superstition, indeed freemasonry fit alongside this? Music historian Ádám Bősze seeks answers to these and similar questions.
