Symphonie D Major Hob. I:86 Orchestra Study Score Publisher: Henle Urtext Edition Study Score Composer: Joseph Haydn Editors: Sonja Gerlach, Klaus Lippe Joseph Haydn's so-called Paris Symphonies were composed in 1785 and 1786 for the masonic lodge “Société Olympique” in Paris, which ran a large orchestra and organised regular concerts. These six works are notable for their artful motivic work and playful wit. Haydn here pays tribute both to the discerning taste of the Paris audience and to the excellent abilities of the musicians in the orchestra. These symphonies rapidly became famous and popular throughout Europe, thanks to editions published variously in Paris, Vienna and London. In this D-major symphony, composed in 1786, the slow movement entitled “Capriccio” is very free in its form, and its introverted mood stands in marked contrast to the exuberance of the other movements. This study edition reproduces the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition, which is a guarantor of the finest scholarship. An informative preface and a brief critical report make this handy score an ideal companion for all Haydn fans, both present and future. $16.95 (US) Inventory # HL51489054 UPC: 888680950606 Series: Henle Study Scores Format: Softcover Publisher Code: HN9054 Width: 7.0" Length: 9.0" 66 pages
