Classical Music Playlist, July 2, 2024
The palace orchestra of Franz Joseph Haydn’s employer lost two horn players, one in 1763 and another in early 1765. But despite Haydn’s urging, his employer, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, didn’t replace them until May 1765. Soon afterward, Haydn composed his Symphony No. 31, known as the “Hornsignal” symphony, to celebrate the new hires and show off the once again full horn section. Performed on period instruments and noticeable in the horns, the “Hornsignal” Symphony No. 31 by Haydn is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
