In 1796, he returned to Germany, where he composed his sublime oratorio of "The Creation," and "The Seasons," and died in 1809. His works are very numerous and valuable. While Haydn was in England, a ship captain entered his chamber one morning: "You are Mr. Haydn ?" "Yes." "Can you make me a march to enliven my crew? You shall have thirty guineas; but I must have it today, for to-morrow I start for Calcutta." Haydn agreed the seaman left him; the composer opened his piano, and in a quarter of an hour the march was written.

At daybreak the purchaser came "Where is my march ?" "Here, try it on the piano." Haydn played it. The captain counted the thirty guineas on the piano, took up the march, and went down stairs. Haydn ran after him; "I have made two others, both better, come up and hear them, and take your choice." "I am satisfied with the one I have." The captain still went down.
