Haydn
arrived in London at the
beginning of February
1794 for his second stay
in England. Two movements
of the Symphony in G
major Hob. I:100 had
already been completed by
then, and the finished
work was premiered on 31
March. The trumpet
fanfare in the second
movement and the use of
“janissaryâ€
percussion gave the
symphony its nickname
“Military
Symphony,†which
Haydn himself even used.
Its success in London was
enormous; in 1794/95
alone, the work was
performed nine times and
thus quickly became one
of the most popular Haydn
symphonies of all time.
To everyone wishing to
become more acquainted
with this symphony, let
this inexpensive study
edition be commended -
with reliable
commentaries on its
genesis, sources, and
edition as well as an
unassailable musical text
taken from the Haydn
Complete Edition.
