This was one of the few symphonies by Haydn which my mother would listen to. She was a music teacher who preferred to play piano music by Chopin and Debussy and Grieg and Rachmaninoff and Gershwin. She did not have a very high opinion of keyboard music composed by earlier composers with the exception of Johann Sebastian Bach. She did not approve of me playing the keyboard sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti for example. Although my father's favorite de-composer was Ludwig von Beethoven, he did like Haydn's symphonies also. No my father was not a music teacher. He did weather research at a university for a living.
Music is rather like food, some you like, some you don’t. With composers of the stature you listed, they are all great in their own way, but having personal likes and dislikes is fine.
My mother was my first piano teacher. She began teaching me how to play the piano when I was six years old and I still enjoy playing the piano fifty something years later. I was lucky enough to grow up in a musically literate house with two parents who both liked listening to a wide variety of music. For example, when I was twelve, we went to a performance of "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff.
Yes some foods you like and some you don't like. In my case, there are some foods I like but I cannot eat them because I am allergic to them. I am not allergic to any music but there are some de-composers whose music I do not like and would prefer not to listen to or play.
The correct name is Louis Van Beethoven, he being of Flemish descent. I spent my childhood in the town of Mechelen, a street away from the original house of the family Van Beethoven. The name is still current here but no one with musical talent as far as I know 😢
@@christianwouters6764 Okay thank you. I am not at all familiar with Flemish but I do know just enough German to be dangerous in that language. I did take some French courses in college and doing this helped improve how I speak English. Unfortunately, though, the instructor in the French language class frequently had to tell me to quit trying to pronounce the French as if it was English. My mother was the guilty party who encouraged me to try to learn French.
I think it was pretty usual. Haydn often sets the trio in the parallel major in his minor symphonies (unless the minuet is already in major tonality); check symphonies 49, 52, 95. Symphony 39 is in G minor, but the trio is Bb major. The same can be said for Mozart: symphonies 25 and 40 are in G minor, but the trios are in G major, and the same happens for string quintets n.2 and n.4.
One of my favorites of the weirder Haydn symphonies. Excellent!
OMG that last movement is such a mindf*ck! :D Impossible to hear it without turning around the beat multiple times.
no.
My personal favorite symphony right now
Adagio is superb!
Amazing! Thank you for uploading!
Fabulous performance!

Una sinfonia molto originale, “ sottotono il discorso musicale. Si , si apprezza se suonata da un complesso cameristico. Rassembrante!!
5-bar phrases in the trio!
6:31
Garci!!
Genio
Really nice wish when I play it it was the real recording and not an orchestra. Good playing
16:00 can one refresh for me how usual was to set the trio in D Major when you start in D minor? This looks like already Schubert/Beethoven thing ?
