	Symphony No. 94 (Haydn) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 94 in G major was composed in 1791.
		Haydn was well known for including jokes in his music, and the Surprise Symphony includes what is probably the most famous one: he wrote a loud "surprise" chord near the beginning of the second movement after a relatively tranquil opening.
		The Surprise Symphony is scored for a Classical-era orchestra consisting of 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and the usual string section consisting of first and second violins, violas, cellos, and double basses.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Haydn Biography
		The majority of his 104 symphonies (Symphony No.94 "Surprise:" Finale) were composed during this period.
		Haydn was warmly known as "Papa" by his orchestra at the Esterhazy Court where he worked for a good deal of his life, but he has become known as Papa Haydn to us all.
		Haydn may or may not have invented the string quartet itself, but he consolidated the nascent tendencies of Rococco music into the modern sonata principle, and this became the vehicle for the most ambitious elevated musical thoughts well into the next century and even into our own.

		Haydn: Symphony No. 94, Symphony No. 100 and More
		Symphony No. 73, written a little later, is a bit more familiar, thanks to the rustic "hunt" finale that gives the piece its nickname.
		In No. 73, Haydn based the handsome andante movement on his song, "Gegenliebe," while for the rambunctious finale, he recycled music from the opera La fedeltà premiata, evidently (and correctly) believing it was too good to waste on a stage work destined for obscurity.

	Saint Louis Symphony
		Haydn retained the title of Kappellmeister, or music director, at the princely court, but his chief duty was now to compose a mass each year for performance at the name-day celebrations of Prince Nikolaus' wife, Princess Maria Hermenegild, which fell on September 8.
		Haydn almost single-handedly invented the string quartet as a musical genre, and more than any composer he developed the symphony from a fledgling compositional format into a vehicle for the most ambitious and consequential musical thoughts.
		Haydn was genuinely fond of the young princess, and she of him; during his later years, she strove to make the aged composer comfortable and saw that he received adequate medical care, paying for the doctors herself.

	Essentials of Music - Composers
		Although he did not invent either the symphony or the string quartet, he was a central figure in their development.
		Haydn is often referred to as "Papa" Haydn, and there is some justification for this.
		Most notable are the six symphonies he wrote for the Concerts Spirituels in Paris (Nos.82-87, called his "Paris" symphonies) and the twelve he wrote for the concert promoter Johann Peter Salomon in London (Nos.93-104, called the "London" symphonies).

	Papa Haydn -
		Another sense of the term "Papa Haydn" comes from his role in the history of classical music, notably in the development of the symphony and string quartet.
		Thus, one piano method for beginners provides lyrics for well-known theme of the "Surprise" Symphony:
		After Haydn's death (1809), during the 19th century, the term "Papa Haydn" became something of a stereotype, designating to many a kindly, perhaps doddering old man whose music was very simple and thus suitable for children.

	SACD Review: Austro-Hungarian Haydn Philharmonic (Fischer) - ‘Haydn: Symphonies No.92 and No.94, 'La Fedelta Premiata'’
		The Haydn Hall is small, and the Nimbus recordings tend to be very closely miked, leaving a wash of reverb in the background, with restricted dynamic range in the foreground.
		The horn calls become true delights near the end of the overture when they suddenly appear in a ring around the listener, coming from the surround channels as well as on stage, a wonderful use of the technology for an attractively piquant offstage effect.
		Incidentally, the photograph on the back cover of the booklet pictures the orchestra in the Haydn-Saal in the Esterházy Castle, which is where their Haydn cycle for Nimbus was recorded.

		This is not to say that Symphony No. 9 is rushed or streamlined, as Klemperer's 1950's Vox records often were.
		The Haydn 93rd suffered cuts in repeats and the intrusions of poor timing on the original NBC broadcast, so the last bars are replaced by the Studio 8-H performance, a distinction without all that much of a difference.

		I first encountered Symphony No.94, the "Surprise Symphony" when I was 14 or 15 - I bought the tape for the simple reason that I was curious to find out what the "surprise" was.
		The tape had no notes to illuminate me, so when I later discovered through reading where the "surprise" was, it was of course no longer one.
		A miniature symphony in three movements - a legacy of the Baroque sinfonia - it is overflowing with energy in the best of Haydn's tradition.
