Composer of the 'Farewell' Symphony, d. 1770 (5)

I believe the answer is:

haydn

(Other definitions for haydn that I've seen before include "Joseph -, Austr. composer (Farewell Symphony)" , "Josef --, prolific composer" , "Classical composer" , "Austrian composer, d.1809" , "Austrian composer of over one hundred symphonies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
