How Did Haydn Create His Symphony In London Symphonies?

Joseph was born in Rohrau, Austria. He was born in 1702. He died in 1809. He was an Austrian composer. Haydn wrote in Italian. Haydn played classical music during the renaissance period. He became a principal architect of classical music. His contribution to music gave him the name “Father of the Symphony” and “Father of the String Quartets. Michael Haydn and Johann Evangelist Haydn were his brothers. Haydn was a teacher to Beethoven.

Beethoven’s symphony No. 5 in C minor has four movements. The first movement is “Allegro con brio”. In the first movement, Beethoven uses sonata form and duple meter to express “fate knocking at the door.” When this part Played by the string’s instruments, it gives me a serious threatening and nervous feeling. In the second theme, Beethoven used Solo French horns to present quiet and peaceful fate, but this atmosphere did not last long. Low strings and descending line are bringing tough, dark and dangerous atmosphere. The second movement is Andante con moto. The rhythm is slow and the meter is triple. It utilizes theme and variations. Theme A is a recitative and played by violas and cellos. It presents a warm feeling. Variation B uses Trumpets,

The first movement of both pieces start off in their own unique way. Haydn’s work begins stridently with a quick timpani strike accompanied by the strings, then is followed by a toned-down melody in C-minor. The second theme of Haydn’s first movement is more jovial sounding and is in C-major. After the

As noted by Robert Hughes, "Beethoven was not only the embodiment of all that was before him, but also of that which was yet to come" (Hughes 486). The truth of this may be seen by comparing Beethoven's 5th Symphony in C Minor to Haydn, the father of Symphony, and his 95th in C Minor. While Haydn's symphony is both playful and dramatic, Beethoven's symphony is grander both in terms of scale and vision. He expands the size of the orchestra to incorporate the sounds swirling around, underlying, and depicting the arrival of Fate in a rhythm-driven, thematic symphony that takes Haydn's form and runs with it as though to the top of a mountain peak. This paper will analyze the symphonies by movement, according to form, size, structure, tonalities, melodies, orchestral sound and overall mood and effect.

          Haydn has a special preference for writing music in a bundle of six. Each of the six pieces has its individuality while sharing many common features at the same time. Haydn’s solo keyboard sonatas show striking diversity in type and style. They often could be categorized by their style periods and each of them reflects a corresponding social background.

The symphony is in four very powerful and entertaining movements. The first movement begins in the pianissimo tone with the strings section, but quickly enters the fortissimo tone with the introduction of the woodwind, brass and percussion sections. The dynamics of the musical melody varies throughout the movement moving from crescendo to decrescendo modes. The first movement reminds you of a raging storm from soft blowing winds to thunder and lighting. The audience is mesmerized by this first movement of the sonata.

Mozart was a prolific and most influential composer of the classical era. As a mere toddler he began to observe his sister’s lessons with their father, developing a keen ear, and showing signs of surprising comprehension. His father, Leopold, was himself a successful composer, violinist and assistant concert master of the Salzburg Court. Both Mozart and his sister were tutored by their father, a dedicated and task-oriented pedagogue. Young Mozart progressed anon, excelling even above his father’s pedagogic genius. At the verdant age of six, he performed as a child prodigy at royal courts in London, Paris, and Zurich. Mozart’s youth was spent fully engaged in touring and performance. These tours were financed through donors and patrons. Through the years, and while abroad, Mozart met many accomplished musicians such as Johann

The first movement of Beethoven’s 9th is quick, driving forward and at times giving the feeling of rushed urgency, while maintaining a composed majesty beneath the surface. This is reflected in the original tempo marking of allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso, meaning literally “quickly but not too fast, a little majestic”. The movement begins with a the strings playing intervals over a quiet string tremolo, reminiscent of an orchestra tuning themselves before a performance. This crescendos to a loud and bombastic introduction of the first movement’s main theme and the introduction of the brass section. The first movement also makes heavy use of dynamic contrast, with large crescendos that swell in time with the music and diminuendos that quickly reign in the impressive power of the full symphony orchestra. The first movement also follows a traditional sonata form, with the main theme having variations throughout the roughly 18 minutes of play time. Personally, I found the ending of the first movement

Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 94 in G major ("Surprise") was composed during the Classical era. It is a symphony with a generally homophonic texture. This particular

Franz Joseph Haydn is one of the most recognizable names and characters of the Classical era. He is recognizes as the inventor of the string quartet, and tutored many other easily-recognizable musicians such as Ludwig van Beethoven and Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart. Haydn’s first experience with music was when he was eight, and he was recruited to sing as a choirboy at St. Stephen’s choir in Vienna. He eventually came to love the keyboard and violin, and supported himself in his early years by teaching and playing violin. His most famous pieces include: the "Rider" quartet and the Surprise, Military, Drumroll and London symphonies. The listening example: Symphony no. 94 is known as the Surprise Symphony, and is the second of the twelve London Symphonies.

Joseph Haydn was born in a small Austrian town named Rohrau. His mother was Maria Koller a cook, and his father was Mathias Haydn who was a step under the village mayor in Rohrau. His Parents were hard working people his father would be the one who did have interests similar to his Mathias enjoyed performing folk music. Haydn would also discuss memories of his family singing and being very musically inclined with one another. He was very shart and extremely talented in the Musical Arts and his parents would notice and knew he needed a change of scenery to help him attain a better career in the art. Haydn's parents would send him with

The 1st movement is in sonata form. The slow introduction to this symphony is unusual in that it begins in the subdominant key - E minor, solemnly introduced by the bassoons. It modulates into B minor and the tempo increases for the principal subject. This theme is elaborated and developed, and a march-like motif forms a bridge passage leading to a climax. The strings then introduce an amorous, song-like second subject in D major. The development section enters with a bang. This section brings no startling thematic growth or transformation, but is

This is the last concerto of Haydn's career; it also is one of the few instrumental works composed during the final years of his life, when he had given up writing symphonies and piano sonatas for good, and had begun to concentrate on vocal music. It was prompted, sometime in 1795 or early in 1796, by a request for a concerto from Anton Weidinger, a trumpet player in the Vienna Court Orchestra. Weidinger had spent his career perfecting an "organized trumpet" designed to fill in the gaps between the notes of the natural series; five or six holes drilled in the instrument and covered by padded keys provided the missing chromatic notes. In Weidinger's hands, the natural trumpet became a melodic instrument, like the oboe or the flute. Weidinger

Haydn is considered as the inventor of the string quartet, as he established the forms and styles. Haydn was among the first composers to merge fugue into the classical style of music, evolve the rondo form to include more tonal logic, and experiment with the double variation form. Also as a composer, Haydn is most known for his infusion of humor, such as the startling chord during a slow movement in his “Surprise” symphony or his false endings in various quartets. Haydn began his work just as the influence of the High Baroque era was fading out and a new style had yet to develop. As the genre of Classical music spawned and matured, so did Haydn’s music; his later work is notably more complex and urbane when compared to his earlier pieces. Haydn’s career never reached the magnitude and publicity of his contemporaries (Beethoven, Mozart, Bach), but that does not mean his music was not irrefutably “technically masterful, generically appropriate and rhetorically convincing” (Webster and
