CONCERTO, K. 622
Joseph Haydn: - SYMPHONY No. 8, THE
EVENING, HOB. I:8 (First performance in Monte-Carlo)
Symphonies 6, 7 and 8 form an indisputable
trilogy (the only formal cycle) and were the first authentic masterpieces in the
history of the genre. Even their titles are original, because Prince Paul Anton
had given Haydn "the hours of the day" as a theme for composition.
Of the three, Symphony No. 8 in G major is
the most classical, especially in its first and third movements.
