The twelve
“London
Symphoniesâ€
comprise the sublime
final statement of
Haydn's symphonic oeuvre.
They were written for the
London impresario Johann
Peter Salomon, and Haydn
himself conducted their
premieres during his
lengthy stays in the
English metropolis in
1791/92 and 1794/95.
Hailing from 1791, the
Symphony in D major no.
96 numbers among the
first symphonies written
in and for London. The
epithet given to it by
posterity, “The
Miracleâ€, was
bestowed erroneously, for
the miracle - that no one
was injured when a
chandelier fell during a
concert - took place
during a performance of a
different Haydn symphony.
And yet it is a miracle
of musical esprit
nonetheless; from the
subtle relations between
the motives consisting of
broken triads that open
all four movements, to
the virtuosic shifts in
mood owing to surprising
harmonies, Haydn here
submits a prime example
of how he develops
musical ideas. This study
edition adopts the
musical text of the Haydn
Complete Edition, thereby
guaranteeing the highest
scholarly quality. An
informative preface and a
brief Critical Report
make the handy score an
ideal companion for all
current and soon-to-be
Haydn fans.
