Symphony No. 53 (Haydn)

Symphony No. 53 (Haydn)

The Symphony No. 53 in D major (Hoboken I/53) is a symphony by Joseph Haydn. It is often referred to by the subtitle "L'Impériale". The symphony was composed by 1774. It is scored for flute, two oboes, bassoon, two horns and strings.

The work is in four movements:

*I. Largo maestoso - Vivace
*II. Andante
*III. Menuetto & trio
*IV. Finale. Capriccio: Presto

The second movement is in double variation form.

There are actually two other versions of the Finale. Haydn took the overture to an unknown opera which begun in C major, and chopped off the last dozen measures so as to conclude in D major. The third version of the Finale H. C. Robbins Landon is fairly sure is not actually by Haydn, but probably by some composer hired by the publisher Sieber. The Eulenburg edition edited by Robbins Landon includes both of the Finales Haydn wrote. [H. C. Robbins Landon, preface to score of Haydn, Symphony No. 53, D major (L'Impériale) Zurich, 1955.] The surviving autograph score of the second Finale had no flute or timpani parts, so Robbins Landon took them from a Hummel edition. For the timpani part there are rolls indicated by "tr" and a wavy line (something which occurs in none of the other movements except by Robbins Landon's editorial emendation in bar 16 of the first movement.
