Ms. Rice-
Rachel and I found out that Joseph Hayden most likely died from a nasal disease. His long term disease eventually prevented him from composing altogether. He died seven years after he was unable to compose anymore, in 1809 at the age of seventy-seven.

Ms. Rice,
Allison and I found that Franz Joseph Haydn, although not proven, most likely dies from arteriosclerosis in 1803 at the age of 77. He suffered from weakness, dizziness, and painful swollen legs which made him unable to compose until the time of his death.

Parker Was very excited for me to hear this piece by Joseph Haydn. He stared at me when the "surprise" occurred and watched me jump! What a very beautiful song:)
Grace and I found that Joseph Haydn since diagnosis was uncertain in Haydn's time, it is unlikely that the precise illness can ever be identified, though Jones suggests arteriosclerosis.
