Haydn Symphony No 93 D major Mvt 2 - Y. Semkov.avi

The Symphony No. 93 in D major, Hoboken I/93, is the first of the twelve so-called London symphonies (numbers 93-104) written by Joseph Haydn.
It was completed in 1791 as one of the set of symphonies completed for his first trip to London. It was first performed at the Hanover Square Rooms in London on 17 February 1792.
The work is in standard four-movement form and scored for two flutes, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings.
1. Adagio - Allegro assai, 3/4
2. Largo cantabile, cut time in G major
3. Menuetto. Allegro, 3/4
4. Finale: Presto ma non troppo, 2/4
Towards the end of the second movement, the music gradually becomes slower and softer until an unexpected fortissimo bassoon "fart" brings the music back for the movement's closing. This shows Haydn's sense of humor -- similar to the 2nd movement of the Surprise Symphony.
The minuet proper has a ländler character. The minuet's trio is highly original and juxtaposes timpani-punctated fanfare outbursts with quieter passages scored only for strings

Haha, that sudden fortissimo was just as surprising as the second movement of Haydn's 94th symphony.
