Joseph Haydn - compositional practice influenced both Mozart and Beethoven. Beethoven began his career writing rather discursive, loosely organized sonata expositions; but with the onset of his "middle period", he revived and intensified Haydn's practice, developing very highly organized musical structures from extremely simple basic motifs. Perhaps more than any other composer, Haydn is known for the jokes that he put into his music. The most famous example is the sudden loud chord in his "Surprise Symphony", no. 94, but others are perhaps funnier: the fake endings in the quartets Op. 33 no. 2 and Op. 50 no. 3, or the remarkable rhythmic illusion placed in the trio of Op. 50 no. 1. Evolution of Haydn's Style Haydn's early work dates from a period in which the compositional style of the High Baroque (seen.

Symphony No. 13 (Haydn) - cellist of the Eistenstadt orchestra, Joseph Weigl. The D major third movement is a minuet and trio in ternary form, with the flute prominently featured in the trio. The last movement is based around a four-note figure which seems to foreshadow the last movement of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony: The figure, which appears in various keys throughout the movement, is treated in a manner which hints at fugue. Near the end it is heard in the strings in stretto (overlapping entries, a new one beginning before the last has ended). A typical performance of the whole piece will last a little over twenty minutes. Recordings The symphony is not among Haydn's more popular works, and most recordings are part of complete symphony cycles. Recordings of the piece include: Philharmonia Hungarica conducted by.
