Symphony No. 47 (Haydn)

Symphony No. 47 (Haydn)

Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 47 in G major Hob. I:47 was probably written in 1772.

Scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, and strings. [H. C. Robbins Landon, "The Symphonies of Joseph Haydn". London: Universal Edition & Rockliff (1955): 687. "2 ob., fag., 2 cor., str."] It is in four movements:

# Allegro
# Un poco adagio cantabile
# Menuetto e Trio
# Presto assai

The "Minuetto al Roverso" is the reason this symphony is sometimes called "The Palindrome": the second part of the Minuet is the same as the first but backwards, and the Trio is also written in this way. [Antony Hodgson, "The Music of Joseph Haydn: The Symphonies". London: The Tantivy Press (1976): 74] [Mark Evan Bonds, "Haydn's 'Cours complet de la composition' and the "Sturm und Drang" in "Haydn Studies", ed. W. Dean Sutcliffe. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (1998): 166. "The most extraordinary of all canonic movements from this time is of course the 'Minuet al rovescio' from Symphony No. 47 in G major (1772), later re-used in Sonata No. 41 in A major Hob. XVI:26 (1773). Here Haydn writes out only one reprise of a two-reprise form, and the performer must play the music 'backward' the second time around."]

Discography

Thomas Fey has recorded it with the Heidelberger Sinfoniker, pairing it with No.s 41 and 44 on Hänssler Classic. On Naxos Records, the Cologne Chamber Orchestra conducted by Helmut Müller-Brühl pairs No. 47 with the No.s 43 and 46. More unusually, James Bolle and the Monadnock Festival Orchestra choose the numerically more distant No.s 35 and 65 to round out the disc.
