Commission
ed in 1786 by the
Paris-based orchestra Le
Concert de la Loge
Olympique, these six

for an extraordinarily
large ensemble of both
professional and amateur

reinforced woodwind parts
and a large string
section. The symphonies
are:
Symphony No. 82
in C major, L'Ours (The
Bear), 1786
Symphony
No. 83 in G minor, La
Poule (The Hen),
1785
Symphony No. 84
in E flat major, In
Nomine Domini,
1786
Symphony No. 85
in B flat major, La Reine
(The Queen),
1785
Symphony No. 86
in D major,
1786
Symphony No. 87
in A major,
1785
Composer Giuseppe
Maria Cambini, a member
of the orchestra, noted
that the enthusiastically
received premieres
featured some of the
city's finest musicians.
A contemporary critic
remarked that Each
hearing increases our
appreciation and
admiration of the works
of the great genius, who,
in all his pieces,
understands so well how
to draw the richest and
most varied developments
from every theme.
Reproduced from the
authoritative Breitkopf &
Härtel editions, this
volume offers musicians
and music lovers an
inexpensive and
authoritative compilation
of Haydn's ever-popular
works.
