I think the tune is much older than that. Haydn just
happened to use it in a movement of a string quartet.

Once, on a wine tour in the Napa valley, I stopped to see a geyser that was
in this guy's back yard (only a dollar!). The geyser was pretty good, for
all that - shot up about 60 feet (did he have a pump running it?), but what
was wierd was that the "background music" that was played while the
various tourists/suckers were waiting for the thing to go off was this
very same string quartet movement. Anybody else been there?
