A Strange Beast: The 18th Century Baryton
Quick, what instrument did Franz Joseph Haydn write over 100
compositions for which is no longer played (or at least, rarely
played)? Answer: A strange hybrid instrument called a Baryton. So
why did he write for it? His boss, Prince Esterhazy happened
to have one and seems to have really enjoyed it. Here
is a fascinating video of a guy who has taken the time
to learn how to play one.
