[EMILY052194]

Im playing an arrangement of this song for a woodwind quartet im so excited! :)

[boredom62]

fuck. didn't hear anything in the begging so i turned up my volume. SURPRISE!. scared the shit out of me

[JesNazRexJud]

Hey. Im looking for one of those dramatic orchestra things they always use in films and series but it's hard to find. Can someone help me? It reminds me of "O fortuna" and "Requiem for a dream".

[Makilore]

I heard that he did the random surprises because many higher ups would commission him, and during their parties and what not people will fall asleep to the calming and nice music. So he made a random jolt to spice things up, wake up a few, and just to make a good time of things. I think it's cute!

[canupopben]

I saw this in my midoc class in school...had to see it again

[dbb2m2]

We are playing this in our orchestra.

[AnAmericanComposer]

Ahhhh that's that satisfying BOOM! (0:36). I love this song! It's funny how Haydn wrote this song for the sole purpose that he was tired of people (pardon the pun) falling asleep during his music!

[dragonmaster4924]

no oboe?

[ThePavy14]

This is a really great piece to study. It's in C and all the instruments are written in C, so you won't have to bother transposing at least in the Dover score edition-no i do not work for dover

[dragonmaster4924]

well i play basson bud

[sxgtube]

This music is the best I have ever heard! I just love it!

[hahahaha1992]

well, haydn was often criticized for playing songs tat made ppl sleep, so he composed this piece to 'wake' the critics:P, and i believe, woke every1 sleeping!

[orihimell]

jumping out of my chair!

[orihimell]

it's so funny evry time!

[joshuacash]

I was in music class a few years back and my roommate was in the class sitting next to me, almost asleep. I saw the FFF and didn't say a word. 1 minute later, surprise!! hahaha!!!

[dragons454]

lol.... like haydn was saying "thou shall not sleep.... performance ongoing!! " ROFL

[razo344]

ME too i knew the exact time it was going to happen and it still got me

[ivanhaydn]

am I right when I say that the conductor of this andante is Jeffrey Tate? i have it at home and it sounds identical

[thelightisahead]

You are right! I wish they would do the complete Haydn symphonies, then I'd know I was getting a good set! I have the complete Mozart by them - brilliant!

[oatboy]

@thelightisahead If you want a consistently good set, try the Hanover Band with Roy Goodman, they are fabulous.

[PhillipSargeant]

when you first listen to it you brace yourself for when you think its gonna happen so you dont jump but its not where you expect it to be, and bam gets you evertime

[tjeprodie]

Oh dear god me 3 by 36 sec.

At first I didn't heared a thing so I turned the volume up and BAM there was the sound XD omg srry for my english xD

[floufnut]

this was on nintendogs, and whenever the loud parts comes, the dogs jump 2 feet in the air! it's hilarious.

[Djsilver64]

I almost crapped my pants at 36 sec.

[thelightisahead]

Hehe, yeah, hence the nickname! It was Haydn's way of saying, at the start of his concert tour, 'Listen up, cos I'm in town  ;) ' hehe

[ProductionsHead]
