The vast majority of composers have written something for the piano. Some of those who have written extensively for that instrument are Bax, Chopin, and Beethoven, Debussy, Ravel, Gershwin, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, many Jazz pianists. There is probably more good piano music, solo, ensemble and orchestral (concerti) than any one person could be exposed to in a lifetime.

The Creation
Haydn's operas that survive are very, very rarely performed and then usually as curiosities. The link below gives a listing of his operas.
Orchestral symphonies
Several of his last 12 Symphonies (#'s 93-104) commissioned by Salomon. They were composed and performed first in England. Favourites are nos. 94, 95, 96, 101, 102 and 104. Also, one of his pieces was set to words and now is the national anthem of Austria.

It is based on the bible - more specifically Genesis.
Johann Wenzel Anton Stamitz was a composer in the Classical period known for his symphonies and instrumental music. He is considered a pioneer of the symphony and helped to establish the symphonic form that was later developed by composers such as Haydn and Mozart.
Haydn's species comes from the oratorio The Creation. This is based off of the world at it's beginning and creation from what is stated within the biblical Book of Genesis and the Paradise Lost.
