Joseph Haydn / Symphony No. 47 in G major "Palindrome" (Weil)

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Symphony No. 47 in G major "Palindrome", Hob. I:47 (1772) 00:00 - [Allegro] 05:38 - Un poco adagio, cantabile 13:45 - Minuet & Trio 16:01 - Finale. Presto assai Tafelmusik, dir. Bruno Weil (1993) "Mozart found Symphony No. 47 arresting. He copied out the beginning of this and two other Haydn symphonies, probably because he intended to use them in his subscription concerts in Vienna in the 1780s. Actually the march-like opening in No. 47 is a device that Mozart used countless times in his own music, which is probably why, unconsciously, he liked Haydn's symphony so much. Mozart may also have liked the original slow movement; the great British musician and writer Dr. Charles Burney, who loved it, referred to it as being based on 'an old organ point', meaning a traditional tune. Whatever its origins, Haydn emphasizes the organ-like quality by having a bassoon double the bass line throughout. The music is written in what is known as double counterpoint at the octave, so that the bottom and top lines can be, and are, reversed. The Minuet is a sophisticated bit of musical trickery. The players must read their music twice for ten bars, up to the double bar, and then they read it twice backwards. The same applies to the Trio. Haydn has taken great pains with the orchestration so that it 'works' both forwards and backwards. It is as neat a piece of legerdemain as any canon by J.S. Bach. There seem to be strong Balkan, or if you wish Gypsy, accents to the Finale -- also because of a certain sinister quality to some of the passages. If indeed these three symphonies [45, 46 & 47] were, even vaguely, constructed as a cycle, they constitute a particularly brilliant chapter in Haydn's symphonic life. Nowadays the old term 'Sturm und Drang' (literally 'Storm and Stress', the title of a German play by Maximilian Klinger of 1776) has fallen into disrepute; but if there is such a thing as a typical Sturm und Drang symphony, it must be Haydn's 'Farewell'; and the other two works, though in major rather than minor keys, are full of the nervous, fiery writing, pungent harmonies and slightly sinister overtones that used to be considered the characteristics of even major-keyed Sturm und Drang music." - H.C.
