In 1761, a 31-year-old Haydn joined the service of Count Esterhazy, who entrusted the young composer with his orchestra, said to be one of the best in Vienna. The Prince "gave Haydn the four times of the day as the theme for a composition, which he set to music". The result was Haydn's Symphonies on the times of day. These first Symphonies are true masterpieces and served as Thierry Malandain's inspiration for his ballet "Marie-Antoinette".
