  • This really shows that Haydn had a great sense of humour. I would have loved to have met him. Since that would require time travel, instead I would love to see a live video of this being performed. Prince Esterhazy must have been flabbergasted!

  • I saw a performance of this symphony at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia. Musicians played by candle light and one by one, as each candle was extinguished, the musician would quietly exit until there was only the music from a single violin ... the last lit candle ... and when that flame went out the music stopped. You could hear a pin drop.

  • la musique, la peinture: les 2 vont bien ensemble ; je me "régale"

  • great piece!!! LOVE IT

    

  • i think classic music after /and beetwoven has been complex...

  • @Bilizza013 the last two

  • @slothfat Indeed. We had to learn Haydn's story back in 7th grade in music class (long time ago) I remember some facts. Well, in this case the count got the message and finally send his musicians home to their familie again...well done Haydn, a smart idea!

  • I love this movement very much!

  • FYI- I'm not denying the fact that this was a joke, but the actual purpose of this is because the musicians in Esterhazy's court, under Haydn, wanted to go back to Vienna because the Prince moved his home away from there and they all had family back there. All the musicians literally packed up and left, to come back of course. By the time the last 2 violins were playing, he understood what was going on, and if I'm not mistaken, he was ok with it.

  • We played this for my senior concert. By the end everyone was crying. It was amazing

  • @AdamGillett Very true... it's just that seeing this premiere before the joke was out would have been priceless.

  • @jlovless1 Love it!
