Symphony No. 6 Beethoven - I. Allegro ma non troppo.
The symphony begins with a placid and cheerful movement depicting the composer's feelings as he arrives in the country. The work is in sonata form, and makes use of a small number of themes, each of which is extensively developed and transformed.
An unusual aspect of the movement is the use of a microscopic texture, obtained by multiple repetitions of very short motifs. As Yvonne Frindle has said, "the infinite repetition of pattern in nature [is] conveyed thr ...

| | | | sonata rondo form: Encyclopedia II - Joseph Haydn - Works Haydn is often described as the "father" of the classical symphony and string quartet. In fact, the symphony was already a well-established form before Haydn began his compositional career, with distinguished examples by Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach among others, but Haydn's symphonies are the earliest to remain in "standard" repertoire. His parenthood of the string quartet, however, is beyond doubt: he essentially invented this medium singlehandedly. He also wrote many piano sonatas, piano trios, divertimentos and masses, which became the foun ...

| | | | sonata rondo form: Encyclopedia II - Symphony No. 94 Haydn - Composition and premiere Haydn wrote the symphony in London for a concert series he gave during the first of his two visits to England (1791-1792). The premiere took place on March 27, 1792, with Haydn leading the orchestra seated at a fortepiano.
As with Haydn's England visits in general, the premiere was greatly successful. One reviewer wrote that the symphony was "equal to the happiest of this great Master's conceptions." In his feeble old age Haydn remembered the premiere with nostalgia, recounting to his biographer Griesinger:
...it was m ...

Eine kleine Nachtmusik - First.
This first movement is an Allegro in sonata form, which aggressively ascends in a "rocket theme." The second theme is more graceful and is in D major, the dominant key of G major. The exposition closes in D major and is repeated. The development section begins on D major and touches on D minor and C major before the work returns to G major for the recapitulation (a repetition of the exposition with both subjects in the same key, as is convention). During the recapitulation, it is in G major with the primary themes from the exposition p ...

Symphony No. 8 Beethoven - Allegro vivace e con brio.
This movement is in the home key of F major and is in fast 3/4 time. As with most of Beethoven's first movements of this period, it is written in sonata form, including a fairly substantial coda. As Antony Hopkins has noted, the movement is slightly unusual among Beethoven's works in that it reaches its dramatic climax not during the development section, but at the onset of the recapitulation. To this end, the concludi ...

Although other composers were prominent in the earlier Classical period, notably C.P.E. Bach in the field of the keyboard sonata (the harpsichord and clavichord were equally popular with t ...

Joseph Haydn - Childhood.
Joseph Haydn was born in 1732 in the Austrian village of Rohrau near the border with Hungary. His father was Matthias Haydn, a wheelwright of Croatian origin who also served as "Marktrichter", an office somewhat akin to village mayor. Haydn's mother, the former Maria Koller, a woman of Czech ancestry, had previously worked as a cook in the palace of Count Harrach, the presiding aristocrat of Rohrau. Neither parent could read music. However, Matthias was an enthusiastic folk musician, who ...

In recent decades performances of the work on historical instruments have become popular. Many listeners feel that the older instruments increase the effectiveness of this music by offering greater dynamic and timbral contrasts.

| | | | sonata rondo form: Encyclopedia II - Symphony No. 8 Beethoven - Composition premiere and reception The work was composed during the summer and fall of 1812 when Beethoven was 42. The cheerful mood of the work betrays nothing of the grossly unpleasant events that were taking place in Beethoven's life at the time, which involved his interference in his brother Johann's love life. This dissonance has been cited as a good example of why it is not always wise to make close connections between a composer's life and music.
The premiere of the Eighth Symphony took place on February 27, 1814, at a concert at which the mighty Seventh Symphon ...

Haydn by Rosemary Hughes (New York: Farrar Strauss and Giroux 1970, out of print) gives a sympathetic and witty account of Haydn's life, along with a survey of the music.
Another biography, based on the most recent scholarship, is James Webster and Georg Feder's contribution to The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (New York: Grove, 2001). This article was published separately as a book: The New Grove Haydn (New York: Macmillan 2002, ISBN 0195169042).

| | | | sonata rondo form: Encyclopedia II - Symphony No. 6 Beethoven - Background composition and reception Beethoven was a lover of nature who spent a great deal of his time on walks in the country. He frequently left Vienna to work in rural locales. He was, however, not the first composer to depict nature symphonically; for example, Joseph Haydn's oratorio The Seasons, premiered in 1802, likewise portrayed the loveliness of nature, dancing peasants, a thunderstorm, bird calls, and so on. Beethoven did not write another oratorio, but a symphony, and thus escaped from the overly-literal character that a libretto would have imposed. As the c ...
