Haydn is the father of the symphony. His music is amazing in harmony, grace and elegance. Viva Haydn a true genius of music that gives us unforgettable moments of pleasure and haunting music. Bravissimo

1775 -1776 circa - La popolarità che questa opera godette a suo tempo in Austria fu dovuta in parte al titolo, che costituisce un omaggio al feldmaresciallo Ernst Gideon Freiherr von Loudon, uno degli eroi della Guerra dei Sette anni e più tardi vincitore dei turchi. Non è certo che Haydn l'abbia composta espressamente per lui, ma da una sua lettera del 1783 si apprende che il musicista faceva molto affidamento sul nome del generale - storpiato probabilmente per comodità fonetica, in Laudon - per il successo della sinfonia. Le sue affinità con la sinfonia n.48 - tonalità strumentale di gala (corni in do, trombe e timpani), piglio marziale del primo tempo e soprattutto la stessa fanfara d'apertura - hanno finito per nuocere alla "Laudon" perché il paragone si è inspiegabilmente risolto a favore dell'opera dello Sturm und Drang, pagina sfolgorante certo, ma non tale da giustificare la lunga eclissi di questa sinfonia equilibrata e serena, tipico prodotto del nuovo stile.

The "Nice" symphony

[@belianis]

Very pleasant piece; can't imagine why it's not better known. My classical music station: WSMR-FM Sarasota, aka the station of the Weasels, the Skunks, the Martens, the Rodents, the Ferrets, and the Mustelids--has never played it.

[@gda295]

?

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

May I suggest a station? I've found from experience that ClassicFM is pretty good at playing many beautiful, but rather unknown pieces. They have an app which allows non-British residents listen. I would check them out if you're fed up with your local channel.

[@gregoryroscow5846]

The Haydn musicologists give this symphony a definite thumbs down but I like it. The first movement has a rather noble feel to it and the brief finale is an invigorating country dance that ends by quoting the opening movement. Good minuet too.

[@AlexDeLarge1]

I give the musicologists two big thumbs up their assholes.

Amazing symphony!

[@TnseWlms]

This is the first of Haydn's symphonies of which I could not find a CD recording in any nearby public library.

[@gda295]

aaah

[@francissadleir9805]

i wonder if it being number 69 has anything to do with it??

[@barrymalkin4404]

If so it's very underrated because I feel the music is as inventive and elegant as Papa Haydn's better known named symphonies. Thank goodness for KZbin. 👍💌

Masterpiece by father of symphony ❤️

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Haydn is not the father of the symphony as he had absolutely nothing to do with the conception - or birth - of the form.
