Symphony In C Major Hob. I:82 (L'ours)

Study Score

Joseph Haydn's So Called Paris Symphonies Were Written In 1785 And 1786 For The Parisian Masonic Lodge Société Olympique, Which Entertained A Large Orchestra And Held Regular Concerts. Artful Motivic Work And Playful Wit Characterize The Six Works, In Which Haydn Pays Tribute To The Sophisticated Taste Of The Parisian Audience And The Excellent Skills Of The Musicians. Through Print Editions In Paris, Vienna And London, The Six Symphonies Quickly Became Known And Loved Throughout Europe. The C Major Symphony, Written In 1786, Owes Its Epithet "L'ours" (The Bear) To The Finale Movement, Whose Bagpipe Like "Humming" Accompaniment Parts Evoked The Image Of A Dancing Bear Among Haydn's Contemporaries. The Study Edition Adopts The Musical Text Of The Haydn Complete Edition And Thus Guarantees The Highest Scientific Quality.
