Joseph Haydn- Symphony No 86 D major

Joseph Haydn

 

Symphony  No 86 D major Hoboken I/86

The Symphony No. 86 in D major, Hoboken I/86, is the fifth of the so-called six Paris Symphonies (numbers 82 - 87) written by Joseph Haydn.
Roger Norrington conducts Stuttgart RSO
1. Adagio, 3/4 -- Allegro spiritoso, 4/4 0:00
2. Capriccio: Largo, 3/4 in G major 11:10
3. Menuetto: Allegretto, 3/4 17:55
4. Finale: Allegro con spirito, 4/4 23:02
The first movement is in sonata form and is broadly conceived. An unusual feature is that the primary theme of the exposition begins "off-tonic" and does not resolve to the D major until five bars in. Similarly the secondary theme group also delays establishment of the dominant key.
The slow movement's "Capriccio" marking is used only one other time in Haydn's symphonic output; in the finale of the "A" version of the 53rd symphony.
The sonata-form finale is characterized by themes contain the rhythmic motif of five eighth-notes leading into the next bar. In most cases, these five notes are also repeated and staccato.

00:00 - Adagio - Allegro
