I think he was at his best in the earlier symphonies

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

@@nottinghillad Haydn’s Symphony 1 was composed in 1757 when Handel and Telemann were still alive; Symphony 104 was composed in 1795 when Beethoven was busy with the Opus 1 piano trios and Opus 2 piano sonatas. Haydn’s symphonic production therefore spanned a period from the end of the Baroque to the post-Classical world of Beethoven, so yes, the music will be very different; not sure the early work could be labelled ‘…best’, but if you prefer it, that’s cool - but a different thing.

[@duncanmckeown1292]

Even at this early stage in his symphonic output Haydn's genius reveals itself! Fascinating performance! Always one of my favourite pieces of music.

[@andrewmildinhall8210]

Wonderful performance of this beautiful little symphony by one of music's supreme geniuses. A text book example of how to structure a piece and Haydn's brilliance as an orchestrator. Rimsky Korsakoff thought he was the greatest. I agree.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Not sure it is entirely accurate to characterise either ‘Le Matin’ or the two sister symphonies ‘Le Midi’ and ‘Le Soir’ as ‘…little’; as an example, Hogwood takes about 28 minutes and he’s fairly rapid. Additionally, there is nothing ‘little’ about the music as each of the three works are extremely rich in musical content. You are quite right though that this is an interesting performance of a work clearly loved by the players.

[@andrewmildinhall8210]

Just to say I used the term ' little ' thinking of the likes of Mahler or Bruckner. Nothing Haydn does is little in terms of intellectual conception.

[@robertburns576]

This is an outstanding performance of my favorite Haydn Symphony. As wonderful as some of the "Sturm and Drang" symphonies are, I keep coming back to these delectable early symphonies, especially 6, 7, and 8.

Bass continuous in firsts Haydn's symphony?

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Some do, some don’t. The latest research suggests that Haydn did not use a harpsichord as part of a basso continuo, and it is actually quite superfluous. Haydn himself would have played the violin in the orchestra, and as he was the only keyboard player employed at Eisenstadt or Eszterhaza, that would suggest that a harpsichord was not used when the works were first performed.

[@Ranna-l5e]

Lovely, but why is the cellist playing the part that ought to be played by the bassist?

[@Cellinator]

It's the same part always

[@andywalmart]

ISSERLIS MAY HAVE ADAPTED THE SCORE FOR HIS OWN SOLOSHIP

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

@@Cellinator It’s not; Haydn clearly notated sections in Symphonies 6, 7, and 8 for the double bass solo, similarly in Symphonies 72 and 31. Otherwise, you could say that it was *usual* for the bass line to be played by cello, double bass and bassoon, whilst keeping an eye on the score as to when any of them were to be tacet or solo.

[@petercrosland5502]

Haydn's first piece for his new employer at Eisenstadt, so everybody gets something interesting to do, all 20 or so of them. why the the forte piano? He wrote the part, presumably for rehearsals but you can't hear it and it's doubtful he ever intervened unless there were problems. Its where he conducted from rather than waving arms about.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Peter Crosland It is generally accepted now that Haydn did *not* use a harpsichord continuo in his symphonies either at Eisenstadt or Eszterhaza; neither did Haydn wave about his arms, he would have played the violin. However, some conductors choose to use the harpsichord; they are not playing a ‘part’, they are simply realising the bass (ie filling in the chords).

[@petercrosland5502]

@@elaineblackhurst1509 Hi, well we agree - no arm flapping, no attempt to fly. Early pieces would have had a harpsichord part, but what we have here is a forte piano. Interesting thing is that although it is obviously being played you can't hear it, so is it a dummy, or has it been digitally removed? You would expect to hear the odd note out of it. I can't believe that he let his tiny orchestra go into battle unrehearsed so maybe that is why he wrote a continuo. Disagree about the violin theory, one of the first things he did at Eisenstadt was to book violin lessons because he was unsure his technique was up to scratch. In performances of string quartets with Mozart, they both tried to get the viola part. Ultimately he was a composer and not a performer.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Peter Crosland Some interesting points, thank you; a few observations: I think I can hear the continuo filling in the chords but I’m sure it’s a harpsichord; do you know for sure that it’s a fortepiano - one of us is mistaken! The continuo is realised from a figured or thorough bass, usually just one or two numbers written on the bass clef with a flat or sharp if needed; it is a sort of musical shorthand which any competent keyboard player would be able to ‘realise’ and produce the correct chords. The continuo part was rarely written out, and almost never had an independent part (though the continuo player may contribute the occasional flourish here and there). The composer Kraus who visited Haydn at Eszterhaza in 1783 as part of a four year tour of Europe that took him to Italy, Austria, England, France and Germany wrote that Haydn’s orchestra was one of the best he had heard. We know that some of Europe’s finest players were engaged - Prince Nicholas spent a fortune on the musical establishment - and that the performances from all reports were very good; this would indicate that works were rehearsed properly, something we know from other sources that Haydn insisted upon. There is not a single piece of evidence that Haydn ever wrote a continuo part, and no continuo harpsichord player was ever employed at Eszterhaza or Eisenstadt, there are no figures on any extant scores or Eszterhazy orchestral parts. Whenever a keyboard player was needed - either as a harpsichordist, or organist for the church services - Haydn did the job. This point about the absence of a continuo has been researched extensively by James Webster if you wish to investigate this further, as is the issue of Haydn playing the violin in the symphonies. Haydn without doubt played the harpsichord for the opera performances where obviously, for the secco recitative, it was essential. The violin lessons at Eisenstadt is a totally new story to me; as is both he and Mozart wanting the viola part at the famous quartet party. Michael Kelly who is the source for this story lists the players thus: Haydn - 1st violin Dittersdorf - 2nd violin Mozart - viola Vanhal - cello Dittersdorf was considered the finest violinist in Vienna in the early 1760’s, and was a much sought after virtuoso soloist; Haydn’s abilities, to take 1st violin above Dittersdorf - who was by some distance the best string player of the four - shows that he was clearly a more competent string player than sometimes credited (the same is true of his keyboard playing). You are quite correct though, that Haydn was a composer, rather than a composer/keyboard solo performer; Mozart and Beethoven were clearly the latter. I question your comment about Haydn needing violin lessons as Robbins Landon, in his giant biography of the composer, notes that Haydn himself stated that he was competent ‘to play a concerto neatly’. I’d be interested to know the sources for the points you raised that were new to me - KZbin at its best, always something new to learn.

[@petercrosland5502]

@@elaineblackhurst1509 Hi Elaine, always nice to hear from you. I like your idea that keyboard part was a summary of the work, makes a lot of sense. Violin lessons were organised after he started work at Eisenstadt, and he met the leader of his orchestra Luigi Tomasini, probably to fully exploit the talents of his first violin, which may account for some of the fiendish first violin parts. They remained friends for life and they died within a year or so of each other. As to harpsichord v forte piano, guessing it is the latter mainly because most harpsichords had two keyboards. Also if it is a harpsichord you would hear it, probably the most annoying noise after the banjo. As to Haydn as performer contemporary newspaper reports whilst he was in London say he appeared at least twice, as pianist in Symph 98 and timpanist at premiere of 103. Both times the audience surged forward and this raised safety concerns. Saw touching interview with organist at Eisenstadt church, the organ is the same as when Haydn played it although it has a new console,. He said that he was sure he could hear him spinning down below and didn't sound as though he was joking. I became a Haydn fan late in life but he fascinates me, I have no idea how he managed to do so much varied quality work in a single lifetime.
