Symphony No. 39 (Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Symphony No. 39 in G minor (Hoboken 1/39) was written in 1767 or 1768 by Joseph Haydn.
The symphony's dark tone and the fact that it is in a minor key (unusual for a Classical era symphony) appears to place it among Haydn's Sturm und Drang works (such as the Symphony No. 45), although those works are on the whole dated a little later, in the early 1770s.
[edit] Movements
The work is in four movements:
It is written for an orchestra consisting of two oboes, four horns, and strings (violins divided into two, violas, cellos and double basses).
