I agree. Though the second movement is the most famous for the surprise, I like the whole thing.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Regardless of the ‘surprise’, this is actually a very fine symphony. As it has become one of the most well-known strokes in all of music, and there is no surprise any longer, perhaps the time has come for some conductor to recreate the original shock by adding some sort of electronic bang, gunshot, or something similar at the appropriate point. I suspect Haydn would approve.

The construction of the first movement, in particular, is incredible. This is why Wagner when pawing over the scores of the London symphonies, pronounced Haydn the greatest orchestrator of all time.

[@ScottRichards10]

I think Haydn is a very underrated composer, and this piece just proves that point. He is the father of the symphony after all.

[@IgnatzKolisch]

Sammartini wrote concert symphonies before Joseph Haydn did. I've been a massive lover of Haydn's music for decades now, but he doesn't deserve the nickname "Father of the Symphony": it's just factually untrue!

[@Madman2759]

@@IgnatzKolisch He's the Father of the Symphony not because he invented the form, but because he codified it and brought it to its mature form, mainly through his contributions to sonata form. Plus, early symphonies didn't use the full orchestra as well as Haydn does in his mature symphonies. Maybe it'd be better to call him "Father of the Mature Symphony," but since he created the symphony as we know it, bringing it from infancy to adulthood, the previous title isn't entirely inaccurate.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

@@Madman2759 A father by definition has to be in at the conception - the appellation as applied to Haydn is as ridiculous as it is misleading and should not be used. Regarding your suggestion, perhaps ‘Foster-parent of the Symphony’ is closer to the mark; you’re quite right that from where he picked it up, to where he left it is truly remarkable.

[@mikecortez6301]

[@alfaloi5387]

Mr. Haydn was a very religious Christian. In the sake of composing, he often kept himself alone inside a small room to praying for God, so he was endowed continuous musical spirit. He creared those not for himself but for God. Although Mozart's melody was considered to be pure, in my opinion, Haydn's was even more purified.

[@GemmaCallahan-tj5wl]

The Adagio Introduction at the beginning of the Vivace Assai 1st Movement reminds me of the Slow Movement from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony..

[@literaryplaylists]

Is it just me or does the main theme of the second movement sound like "twinkle twinkle little star"? Either way, amazing work!

[@antonczerny]

I would rather say that sounds like the main theme of the second movement.

[@IgnatzKolisch]

It sounds similar to the song "Ah! vous dirai-je, maman". The composer of this song is unknown. As far as we know, it was first published in 1761, but possibly already existed in the 1740s. "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" was just someone (Jane Taylor) putting English words to this song, and was first published with these lyrics in or near 1806. So, this symphony came before "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", but long after ""Ah! vous dirai-je, maman". I don't think it's meant to have anything to do with it though. It's kinda similar, but not exactly. By the way, I had SOME of this info memorised, but most if it I just now took from Wikipedia, so I'm no expert!

[@sneddypie]

Not really

[@snokpok]

Yea so TTLS is taken from a French melody that's "Ah! vous dirai-je, maman" as IgnatzKolisch said. The original folk melody got popular after Mozart composed his 12-variations piano piece on it. Haydn and Mozart were close friends, and the 12-variations Mozart piece was composed before the "Surprise" symphony. Therefore, it's very likely that Haydn took inspiration from Mozart's work, using a rhythmically similar melody to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" (as we know the melody by) in 2nd movement.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

@@snokpok The French folk song had always been popular, it really wasn’t dependent on Mozart; similarly, Haydn used ‘La gentille et jeune Lisette’ as the basis for the slow movement of his Symphony 85 (‘La Reine’). In both cases, the tunes were well-known before being used by these composers, indeed it was because they *were* well-known that they were chosen in the first place as the basis for variation-type movements. Haydn absolutely did *not* ‘…take inspiration* from Mozart’s work’ in composing the simple tune that is the basis of the slow movement of Symphony 94 (‘Surprise’); Haydn is one of the most self-contained of all composers, and one of the most impervious to outside influences. You’re quite right about the friendship between Mozart and Haydn from about 1783 when they first met in Vienna; it is one of the most astonishing of all composer friendships in the history of Western music. * A word that is as mis-used and mis-applied as it is over-used.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

No idea who ‘Papa* Hayden’ (sic) is supposed to be, nor the ‘they’ you mentioned; there’s a Joseph Haydn who was a great composer, but his papa was a wheelwright and local magistrate. * Papa = Pope in Italian which is a language in which Haydn was native fluent and used on all his scores, in daily life at Eszterhaza, to his mistress Luigia Polzelli, in Vienna, and in many letters and documents; whilst religious, he never became a priest and certainly never Pope.

[@hemiolaguy]

Well, Haydn did mark it "Allegro molto"...

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

@@hemiolaguy You’re quite right, along with the Allegro molto of the early Symphony 28 (1765), these two symphonies are the ‘fastest’ Minuets of the Classical period - Mozart’s are all of the more relaxed Allegretto type. (I’m counting the so-called Minuet of Beethoven’s first symphony - which is in fact not a Minuet at all but a genuine one-in-a-bar Scherzo - as ‘post-Classical’). One thing to consider though: beware of reading 18th century tempo markings as though they were 19th century ones, ie based on a narrow band of metronome speeds. For Mozart and Haydn, these so-called tempo markings were often more indications of mood, rather than specific tempo indications, though the approximate intended speed was often implicit as well. This was true in the Baroque period also, and is particularly evident in the keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti for example, and many of Handel’s works. The word Allegro is obviously Italian, but ‘essere allegro’ actually means ‘to be cheerful’, or ‘to be lively’. Both Mozart and Haydn were virtually native fluent in Italian, it was their shared musical language, and as such, we should perhaps re-consider the real meaning of some of their ‘tempo’ markings as I have suggested. In summary: by Allegro molto, what Haydn actually meant and intended - thinking and writing Italian - was very cheerful/lively, rather than very fast, and that the two things are not quite the same thing. Hope you - and anyone passing by - find this explanation helpful.

Why do Hayden symphonies all have stupid nicknames?

[@hemiolaguy]

They don't all have nicknames, just some of them. As Haydn wrote 104 symphonies, the nicknames help people remember which is which. And you have to remember that they were nicknamed in a less sophisticated and less over-stimulated age, when, say, a sudden loud chord (in this symphony) or a few measures that sound like the clucking of a chicken (in the "Hen" symphony) were remarkable enough to be commented on and remembered.

[@anneke2911]

I think the nickname matches very well ;)

[@emiliozamudiogutierrez5031]

Childish no stupid. The God's kingdom is plenty of children of all ages.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Of the c.30 symphonies by Haydn which have nicknames, precisely 0 emanate from the composer himself,* though Symphonies 6-8 are clearly a times of the day trilogy of programme music. The nicknames were all appended later and had nothing to do with the composer himself but came from publishers and organisations across Europe. Nicknames are attached to symphonies by most composers, with Haydn its less than 30%, Mendelssohn hits 80%, Shostakovich 40%, and if you count Beethoven’s 5th as a nickname, then he clocks up 44% (33% without). In short, Haydn’s not really any different from any other composer, indeed a *smaller* percentage of his symphonies carry a nickname than any of the random examples above. * It is just possible that Haydn added the Latin title *Tempora mutantur* to Symphony 64; though the original manuscript is lost, the words - meaning ‘times are changed - appear on a set of parts made at Eszterhaza.
