Joseph Hayden's name is pronounced differently by people who live in German and English speaking countries. In German, people pronounce it as [ˈjoːzɛf ˈhaɪdn̩], while in English, people pronounce it as /ˈdʒoʊzəf ˈhaɪdən/.

The phonetic pronunciation is "Hay", like "Hey! " in "Hey, you! " followed by "Den", like the den of a bear. It rhymes with "hey, then". His full legal name was Joseph Haydn, though sometimes noted as Franz Joseph Haydn. He was considered the Father of the Symphony or the Stringed Quartet.
