Haydn Symphony No 79 F major Christopher Hogwood Academy of Ancient Music

Joseph Haydn Symphony No. 79 in F major, Hoboken 1/79, it was composed in 1784 as part of a trio of symphonies that also included symphonies 80 and 81. Unlike the previous three that were composed for London or the next six that were composed for Paris, it is not known for what occasion these three works were composed. Christopher Hogwood conducts Academy of Ancient Music 1. Allegro con spirito 0:00 2. Adagio cantabile, 3/4 - un poco allegro, 2/2 10:52 3. Menuetto & Trio: Allegretto, 3/4 17:30 4. Finale: Vivace 21:40 The second half of the slow second movement is not slow at all and has a tempo more typical of a finale. Much of the minuet is built on "4 + 2" six-bar phrases where the final two bars serve as a partial echo of the first four. The trio is based on a theme that is strikingly similar to the rondo finale to Mozart's first horn concerto, K. 412/386b, written in 1791, although it is unlikely that Mozart knew the earlier work. The finale is a straightforward rondo with two episodes. The first episode has a gypsy flavor.
