Joseph Haydn’s oratorio ‘The Seasons’ was composed directly after the first successful performances of ‘The Creation’.‘The Seasons’ has however been greatly overshadowed by ‘The Creation’ for a long time and yet this work has far greater changes of style between popular Singspiel and great oratorio than ‘The Creation’. ‘The Seasons’ continues to impress and remains part of the core repertoire to the present with its overwhelming richness of musical character and its immense formal variety. Scarcely another oratorio is able to so captivate an audience with such variety.- Urtext edition from theComplete Edition ‘ Joseph Haydn Works’ published by G. Henle Verlag Munich.- Duration: approx. 140 minutes.- Full score & parts (BA4647) & vocal score (BA4647-90) available for sale.

The series 'Get to Know Composers' presents works of famous masters in easy arrangements as well as original compositions for piano. A brief biographical sketch with contemporary colour illustrations as well as a list of the most important works provide easy access to the respective composer. Thus, amateur pianists and young piano pupils can embark on a vivid excursion into the life and work of important composers.Apart from Mozart and Beethoven, Haydn was the oldest of the three representatives of the Viennese Classicism. The genres of symphony, string quartet and oratorio were perfected by Haydn in a way which is regarded as 'classical' today. Apart from Haydn's original piano works, these three genres are among the main topics in this volume which contains excerpts from 'Farewell Symphony', 'Surprise Symphony', the symphony 'The Clock', 'Emperor Quartet' as well as the oratorios 'The Creation' and 'The Seasons', among others.
