    The composer’s name is Joseph Haydn as can be seen by his autograph signature at 1:47; nobody uses the string of baptismal names for Mozart, and we don’t need the ‘Franz’ either.
    Similarly, we can ditch the ‘Lord’ part of the title; it’s correctly the Missa in angustiis as in the description, and the correct short nickname is ‘Nelson Mass’.
    Much of the first 2:30 is as irrelevant as it is inaccurate; there are errors later too ‘…this largest of Haydn’s masses’ - that’s actually the Harmoniemesse, and this mass has the reduced scoring of just 3 trumpets, timpani, organ and strings.
