Symphony No. 67 (Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Symphony No. 67 in F major (Hoboken I/67) is a symphony by Joseph Haydn.
[edit] Date of composition and scoring
The symphony was composed by 1779. It is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns and strings.[1]
[edit] Movements
- I. Presto
- II. Adagio
- III. Menuetto & Trio
- IV. Finale: Allegro di molto - Adagio e cantabile - Allegro di molto
H. C. Robbins Landon praises this work, saying "without any question, this is one of the most boldly original symphonies of this period."[1]
At the end of the second movement, the entire string section is directed to play col legno dell'arco (with the back of the bow).[1]
The Allegro di molto finale is interesting because it features its own internal Adagio e cantabile slow movement. The fast music is first interrupted by a solo string trio (two violins and cello) instructed to play piano e dolce. The rest of the orchestra elaborates on this slow section before the initial Allegro di molto section returns and Haydn brings the symphony to conclusion.[1]
