Symphony in G minor Hob. I:83

Scoring: 1.2.0.2 – 2.0.0.0 – strings

»Irony and Humour« two key words that well describe this unique work in Haydn’s Paris cycle. Being the only work in the set posed in a minor key, its sombre character juxtaposed against the near comic Poule theme in the first movement makes this work a concert hall favourite.
