Haydn's original employment contract stipulated that he could not have his compositions published without the official approval of his patron Prince Nicholas Esterhazy.   This restriction was omitted in Haydn's renegotiated contract of 1779.   As far as we know, none of his symphonies were published before that year, and thus in a sense were "hidden" from the musical world at large.
