Symphony No. 58 (Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Symphony No. 58 in F major (Hoboken I/58) is a symphony by Joseph Haydn.
[edit] Date of composition and scoring
The symphony was composed by 1774. It is scored for two oboes, two horns and strings.
[edit] Movements
The unique distinction alla zoppa on the Menuet literally means "limping" which Haydn accomplishes with a dotted rhythm pushed into all sorts of asymmetrical patterns.[1][2] This movement was also used in Haydn's Baryton Trio in D major (Hob 11/52).
