Symphony B (Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Haydn's Symphony B in B♭ major, Hoboken I/108, was written between 1757 and 1760,[citation needed] and was one of his earliest symphonies. It does not fall into the usual numbering scheme of Haydn's symphonies because it had later been published without its wind parts as a "Partita".[1] It is scored for two oboes, bassoon, two horns, strings, and continuo.
The work has four movements:
- Allegro molto, 4
4 - Menuetto & Trio (Trio in E♭ major). Allegretto, 3
4 - Andante in G minor
- Presto
The trio of the minuet contains a dialogue between solo viola and solo bassoon.[2]
