+===== Voice =====
+When he was five years old, the young Haydn's singing voice was so good that he was invited to enter the Choir School of St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna.[([[https://wgucmusicblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/joseph-haydns-sense-of-humor.html|wgucmusicblog]])]
+===== Left The Choir =====
+However, things changed for Haydn when he lost his angelic voice at the age of 16; he quit the choir when his voice was characterized as "that lad doesn't sing, he crows!" by Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa: "That child doesn't sing, he crows!" Haydn then cut another young chorister's ponytail and was publicly caned. [([[https://historyandartblog.wordpress.com/category/history/page/3/|History And Art Blog]])]

+===== Nasal Polyps =====
+Haydn suffered from nasal polyps throughout his life, which caused his nose to seem bulbous and deformed. It grew so unpleasant at times that he couldn't compose.
