Along
with Symphonies Nos. 76
and 77 Haydn composed
Symphony No. 78 for a
journey to England that
never took place.
Nonetheless, H. C.
Robbins Landon referred
to these works as the
“English
Symphonies†as they
are stylistically closely
linked to “the
London Bachâ€,
Johann Christian Bach. In
a letter Haydn wrote to
his Paris publisher
Charles-Georges Boyer in
1783, he described the
works as “Leicht
und nicht vil
Concertirendâ€,
meaning they were light
in spirit and did not
contain extensive solo
passages but rather a
clear sense of classical
form.
Continuing
the cooperation between
Bärenreiter and the G.
Henle publishing company
regarding Haydn’s
large-scale choral works,
operas, and symphonies,
this edition is based on
the G. Henle Complete
Edition of the
“Works of Joseph
Haydnâ€. To date,
Bärenreiter has
published the complete
performance material for
several of Haydn’s
“Sturm und
Drang†symphonies
as well as the complete
London and Paris
symphonies.
