Haydn’s Symphony in C major Hob. I: 90, dated 1788 in the autograph, belongs to a group of works that he composed between the Paris symphonies (Hob. I: 82–87) and the London symphonies (Hob. I: 93–104). It thus belongs to the last symphonies he wrote before his journeys to England in 1791–92 and 1794–95. Continuing the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the G. Henle publishing company regarding Haydn's large-scale choral works, operas and symphonies, this edition is based on the G. Henle Complete Edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn. With Symphony No. 90, Bärenreiter has now published the complete performance material for all the symphonies from Nos. 82 to 104 as well as several Sturm und Drang symphonies.

Haydn’s Symphony in G major Hob. I:81 comes from a series of three symphonies completed in late 1784 (nos. 81, 80 and 79, presumably in that order). No autograph score survives for Hob. I:81, thus our Urtext edition is based on copyists’ manuscripts and first editions. As with so many of his symphonies, Haydn wrote this one to provide new music for his employer, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy.Continuing the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the G. Henle publishing company regarding Haydn’s large-scale choral works, operas and symphonies, this edition is based on the G. Henle Complete Edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn. Bärenreiter has now published the complete performance material for several Sturm und Drang symphonies and all the London and Paris symphonies (Nos. 81 to 104).

Along with Symphonies Nos. 80 and 81, Haydn’s Symphony in F major Hob. I:79 belongs to a group of works that he composed in late 1784. He wrote them for his employer Prince Nikolaus Esterházy who wished to be entertained with new music. The symphonies were tailored for the twenty-five to thirty musicians who were in the prince’s court orchestra.Continuing the cooperation between Bärenreiter and the G. Henle publishing company regarding Haydn's large-scale choral works, operas and symphonies, this edition is based on the G. Henle Complete Edition of the “Works of Joseph Haydn”. Bärenreiter has already published the complete performance material for several “Sturm und Drang” symphonies and all the Paris and London symphonies.

Haydn arrived in London at the beginning of February 1794 for his second stay in England. Two movements of the Symphony in G major Hob. I:100 had already been completed by then, and the finished work was premiered on 31 March. The trumpet fanfare in the second movement and the use of “janissary” percussion gave the symphony its nickname “Military Symphony,” which Haydn himself even used. Its success in London was enormous; in 1794/95 alone, the work was performed nine times and thus quickly became one of the most popular Haydn symphonies of all time. To everyone wishing to become more acquainted with this symphony, let this inexpensive study edition be commended - with reliable commentaries on its genesis, sources, and edition as well as an unassailable musical text taken from the Haydn Complete Edition.

Haydn arrived in London at the beginning of February 1794 for his second stay in England. By this time, he had completed three movements of the Symphony in D major Hob. I:101, and the finished work was premiered on 3 March. Even the members of the audience at the premiere took note of the pendulum-like accompanying figure in the second movement, which was in fact explicitly mentioned in a review: “The management of the accompaniments of the andante, though perfectly simple, was masterly.” The even tick-tock oscillations sparked the imagination of listeners so much, apparently, that the nickname “Clock” came into use later in the nineteenth century. And while this name may have nothing to do with Haydn, is it even possible to listen to the famous second movement today without making the association? To everyone wishing to become more acquainted with this symphony, let this inexpensive study edition be commended - with reliable commentaries on its genesis, sources, and edition as well as an unassailable musical text taken from the Haydn Complete Edition.

Von der Existenz der sieben verschollenen Klaviersonaten Hob. XVI: 2a-e und g-h wissen wir lediglich durch die Eintragungen in den sogenannten Entwurf-Katalog, dessen Hauptteil Ende 1765 entstand. Haydn führte den Katalog bis 1777 fort, indem er von Zeit zu Zeit die jeweils neu komponierten Werke ergänzte. Entstanden sind die Sonaten vermutlich in der Zeit zwischen 1766 und 1772. Die Tatsache, dass die Sonaten verschollen sind, wird häufig mit dem Brand, dem Haydns Haus in Eisenstadt im Jahr 1768 zum Opfer fiel, in Verbindung gebracht. Der Zeitraum 1766 bis 1772 deckt sich ziemlich genau mit der häufig, jedoch nur unzureichend charakterisierend Sturm und Drang-Zeit genannten Schaffensphase des Komponisten, die den Höhepunkt einer Phase intensiven Experimentierens und Suchens nach neuen Wegen auf fast allen für Haydn besonders bedeutsamen Gebieten der Instrumentalmusik, der Symphonie, dem Streichquartett und der Klaviersonate, bildet. Da die Eintragungen im Entwurf-Katalog lediglich die ersten zwei bis vier Takte der je ersten Sätze der Sonaten wiedergeben, musste der Verfasser nicht nur den restlichen Verlauf der Eröffnungssätze weitgehend selbst erdichten, er war auch bei der Gesamtanlage der Sonaten (Anzahl und musikalischer Inhalt der übrigen Sätze) insofern auf sich allein gestellt, als der Entwurf-Katalog hierüber keine Auskunft gibt. Als stilistische Vorbilder dienten naturgemäß die im genannten Zeitraum komponierten und erhaltenen Sonaten. Darüber hinaus hat der Verfasser versucht, eine möglichst große Bandbreite der verschiedenen Formen, die in Haydns Musik dieses Zeitraums zu finden sind, abzubilden. Ebenso differenziert und zur Nachahmung herausfordernd ist der Abwechslungsreichtum der Satztechniken, die Haydn verwendet. Dem Vorbild Haydns folgend sind vor allem die dynamischen Angaben auf ein Minimum reduziert und sollen bewusst Raum zur eigenen fantasievollen Interpretation lassen. (Thomas Enselein).

Haydn’s “Sturm und Drang” symphonies along with the London and the Paris symphonies belong to his most popular works today. The “Sturm und Drang” works contain not only masterpieces such as the already published “Farewell-Symphony” and the “Maria Theresia” symphony but also gems such as the recently published “La Passione” symphony (2013) and now the Symphony in B major No. 46.The publication of this symphony represents a continuation of the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the Henle publishing company in the areas of large vocal compositions, operas and symphonic works. The Symphony in B major is based on the Henle Complete Edition of the “Works of Joseph Haydn” and is published with a full score and large format performing material on sale.

Letters of the composer have come down to us only on a few of Haydn’s symphonies, amongst them the “Laudon” Symphony Hob. I:69. In one of these letters, Haydn agrees to the publisher’s suggestion to name the symphony after the widely known and favoured general Gideon Ernst von Laudon (1717-1790). By using this name, both composer and publisher hoped to increase the commercial success of the work which possibly deserved a military eponym considering its instrumentation with timpani and trumpets. Also, the symphony requires two bassoons, but no flutes, corresponding with the available musicians at the court of Esterházy between 1775 and 1776. In continuation of the collaboration between Bärenreiter and G. Henle Verlag, this edition is based on the Urtext of the Complete Edition “Joseph Haydn Works” published by G. Henle Verlag.

This edition clarifies a performance aspect of Haydn’s Symphony in G major that has long been misunderstood: in m. 1 of the second movement (Largo) the viola, violoncello and several wind instrument parts are marked “solo”, indicating that they play important motifs or themes and ought to stand out. Contrary to other editions, the “solo” marking in the violoncello should not be construed as indicating a solo instrument with the remaining cellos doubling the basses. Rather, the cellos should play as a section so as to stand out all the more clearly.Continuing the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the Henle publishing company in large-scale choral works, operas and symphonies, this edition is based on the Henle Complete Edition of the “Works of Joseph Haydn”. The complete performance material for several “Sturm und Drang” symphonies and all of the London and Paris symphonies is now available from Bärenreiter.

Haydn composed his Symphony No. 77 along with his Symphonies Nos. 76 and 78 for a planned journey to England that never took place. Nonetheless, H.C. Robbins Landon calls these works the “English symphonies” as they are stylistically closely linked to the “London Bach”, Johann Christian Bach. Haydn himself, in a letter of 1783 to his Parisian publisher Charles-Georges Boyer, described the symphonies as ‘Leicht und nicht vil Concertirend”, meaning that they were light in spirit and did not contain extensive solo passages but rather a clear sense of classical form.Continuing the cooperation between Bärenreiter and the G. Henle publisher regarding Haydn’s large-scale choral works, operas and symphonies, this edition is based on the G. Henle Complete Edition of the “Works of Joseph Haydn”. The Bärenreiter catalogue now includes the complete performance material for several “Sturm und Drang” symphonies as well as all the London and Paris symphonies.
