Description
SKU: A0.1004987
Composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. Arranged by Arild Mjaaland. Classical. Score and parts. 90 pages. Arild Mjaaland #5375987. Published by Arild Mjaaland (A0.1004987).At that time, Haydn's patron Nikolaus I, Prince Esterházy was resident, together with all his musicians and retinue, at his favorite summer palace at Eszterháza in rural Hungary. The stay there had been longer than expected, and most of the musicians had been forced to leave their wives back at home in Eisenstadt, about a day's journey away. Longing to return, the musicians appealed to their Kapellmeister for help. The diplomatic Haydn, instead of making a direct appeal, put his request into the music of the symphony: during the final adagio each musician stops playing, snuffs out the candle on his music stand, and leaves in turn, so that at the end, there are just two muted violins left (In this arrangement only the triangle player is on the stage) . Esterházy seems to have understood the message: the court returned to Eisenstadt the day following the performance.
