Joseph Haydn Symphony in G major Hob. I: 94 (The Surprise)
Robert v. Zahn (Editor)
Friederike Mühle (Preface)
The twelve “London Symphonies” form the sublime final chord of Haydn's symphonic work. They were conceived for the London impresario Johann Peter Salomon, and Haydn himself directed the creations, when he visited, in 1791/1792 and 1794/1795, for some time in the English metropolis. The Symphony in G major, performed for the first time in March 1792, is still one of Haydn's most popular works today. Its English nickname “Surprise” comes from the astonishing tutti accord of the Andante, which the public certainly did not expect. Haydn had introduced this effect consciously after the fact - and was moreover willingly ready to authorize the nickname given, after the effect of surprise, by a London musician. This popular work quickly spread also in German-speaking countries, where it occupies a solid place in the repertoire - under the name of "Symphonie au coup de timpale" (Paukenschlag). The Study Edition uses the musical text of the Complete Edition of Haydn's Works and thus guarantees the highest scientific quality of publication. An informative preface and a brief critical commentary make this handy sheet music the ideal accompanist for all Haydn fans, as well as those who wish to become one.
