Mr. Franz Joseph Haydn was quite funny at times. We'll be listening to the Surprise Symphony this month in lessons. It starts piano and has an abrupt forte about 30 seconds into, it was to awaken the sleeping audience he sometimes wrote for. He had the privilege of serving in a castle for royalty on a regular basis.
A couple of good websites to check out-
this one has free sheet music and coloring pages
