Haydn's three Symphonies Nos 90 to 92 could in fact be presented under the name of "Parisian Symphonies, second part", because they were born in 1788-1789 also within the framework of an order from the Olympic Society for which Haydn had already composed his six ?Parisian Symphonies? nos 82 to 87 a few years ago. In a rather amusing way, Haydn then sold them again to Prince von Oettingen-Wallerstein, who wanted to "acquire 3 new" Synfonien "from him". Beyond these mercantile complications, Haydn shows himself, in these works, in full possession and in full mastery of his profession as a symphonist. The Symphony in G major n ° 92 was, if we believe the autograph manuscript, finished in 1789, and is sometimes called today "Oxford Symphony", because it had been played in 1791 on the occasion of an honorary reception of Haydn at Oxford. The study edition uses the text of the complete edition of Beethoven's works, thus guaranteeing the highest scientific quality. An informative preface and a brief critical commentary make this handy score an ideal accompanist for all Haydn fans, as well as all those who wish to become one.
