Haydn experiments with tonality in this symphony (the first of his in which clarinets are used): though the main key is E flat, the slow movement is in G major and the trio in C major. Note how the music at 18:55 moves effortlessly from the end of the minuet (E flat) to the start of the trio (C): the modulation is achieved through the note G, which is both the mediant of E-flat major and the dominant of C major. Little things like this are a source of fascination for me – and Haydn's symphonies are full of such little gems.

George Law You’re right to identify points of interest in this symphony because it puts you in good company. Beethoven twice copied out the first movement development section for study purposes (he was particularly interested in the contrapuntal work).

The woodwind writing - he learned from the recently departed Mozart.

haanashim The woodwind writing was largely determined by the quality of the players he found in London. It appears the clarinets were somewhat suspect and not as good as those in Vienna, hence the rather conservative parts.
There is very little evidence that Haydn took much in terms of orchestration from Mozart, and the two composers had very different concepts of orchestral sonorities and textures.

A top favourite - along with 93, 101 and 102 from the final 12 symphonies. Fine recording.

My own favourites list is partially different. So what? - late Haydn is simply wonderful.

Questa sinfonia pone un dilemma fu composta prima o dopo la n.1? Dal punto di vista armonico sembra tornare alla semplicità dei primi quartetti d'archi con quel susseguirsi di cadenze dominante-tonica, tonica-dominante. Barocchi sono pure i ritmi puntati di cui abbonda il primo movimento. Viceversa la struttura formale è molto più progredita, il discorso obbedisce a leggi logiche ed è ordinato in frasi ricorrenti che appartengono ad un musicista già provetto nella tecnica e nel linguaggio sinfonico. Altro segno caratteristico: la scomparsa dell'indicazione dei ritornelli, per cui la sinfonia si dipana senza ripetizioni, dal principio alla fine. Furono probabilmente questi particolari che risvegliarono l'interesse dell'editore Venier, il quale pubblicò l'opera a Parigi, nel 1764, sotto il titolo " I nomi sconosciuti che meritano di essere conosciuti". La fama internazionale di Haydn prende dunque le mosse da questa "seconda".

Roger Parton

It is possible you are considering the wrong symphony here. This work dates from quite late in Haydn's career (1793).

Haydn was extraordinarily ahead of his time.

Elaine Blackhurst

Der Boss Komponist You’re right; but see my reply above.

Elaine Blackhurst

Vincent Andrews Beethoven (ie next generation), was particularly interested in this symphony and twice copied out the development section of the first movement for study purposes - he seems to have been particularly interested in the contrapuntal aspects of the work (ie previous generation!).

Der Boss Komponist

Not really. He was an extraordinary important part OF the time.

After you listen this music, you grow in confidence that modern music is a crime and should be strictly punished!

You, Sir, are stupid, and should keep that in mind when emptying the contents of your brain into the web.

@Ilia Khan That is a terrible description of jazz. I'm not going to go on a tangent, but it sounds to me that you're just taking your own, narrow opinions and treating them as objective truth. I can't tell you what to like, but just shitting on music you don't like for no other reason than you don't like it is unimaginative

@[Insert Clever Name Here] Jazz is a vulgarity, humiliation of classical instruments. If you like improvisation and more full music than even classical, I advise you to listen to the Indian traditional music.

@Ilia Khan I am not well-versed enough in modern music to throw out a good list of names, but there are many genres of music with many different musicians, one of my personal favorites being jazz. Let's also consider the times of Haydn versus today. In the 18th and 19th centuries, if you wanted your music to be known, you'd have to expend a ton of work in stuff not even related to the music (getting good concert venues, trying to get people to show up, etc.). Today, all one needs is some recording equipment and access to the internet to get their art out there. Additionally, tastes have changed. That doesn't make modern music bad, it just makes it not your favorite. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but your opinion doesn't dictate what music is good. To compare music of yesteryear with today's is to compare apples to oranges. I'm not saying you can't enjoy classical music more (especially considering I do like that kind of music more myself); I'm just saying that doesn't make all modern music objectively bad, and the idea that "all modern music is bad because it's not as good as the kind of music I like is" is an unimaginative take.

@[Insert Clever Name Here] That's not problem, that there are mediocre. Problem is, that there are no Haydns any more. Can you name one, please? And look, how many Haydns were in the days of Haydn: Mozart, Beethoven and Antonio Salieri, who isn't worse than Mozart or Beethoven, not even distinguished in those days. The mediocre is not the problem. Without the mediocre there is no perfect. Everyone is mediocre in the process of learning. But the problem is that the musicians are no more aiming, trying and working to be perfect, and love disharmony more than harmony. Modern musician is the agent of chaos. Even popsingers, in their primitive melodies, managed to be the agents of chaos. Whom are you calling to be "intresting" in our modern times, Dmitri Shostakovich? Even Stalin and the battle for Leningrad together had barely managed to make him write a classical piece of music among his many symphonies.
