The Symphony No. 102 in B flat major, Hoboken I/102, is the tenth of the twelve so-called London Symphonies written by Joseph Haydn.It was completed in 1794.
The work is in standard four-movement Largo—Vivace Adagio in F major Menuetto. Allegro Finale. Presto
The second movement is an orchestration of the second movement of the F-sharp minor piano trio, Hob. XV/26 also transcribed from F sharp major to F major. The repeats in the trio are written out in the symphony allowing for changes in the orchestration upon the second hearing. Also, the symphony features the cellos playing a rolling triplet accompaniment whereas in the trio, the cello simply doubles the bass.
Bravo! At last! A full performance of this underrated symphony on youtube!!
