(Beecham had recorded several Haydn symphonies in the 1930s for Columbia with his new London Symphony Orchestra, but not the Military.). 100 in G major, Hoboken I/100, is the eighth of the twelve London symphonies written by Joseph Haydn and completed in 1793 or 1794. Indeed, the work gains a curious power through this very contrast between classical control and relaxed, staid pacing that is constantly challenged by the coiled tension of those commanding drums.
In a 1938 recording with the Vienna Philharmonic (although judging from the sound, an audibly stripped-down version of the full ensemble), Bruno Walter is thoroughly gentle, with moderate tempos, careful inflection and barely a hint of drama. The first, following an extremely swift introduction and rather normal exposition nearly grinds to a halt for the far slower development, as if to signal with a change of pace the importance of Haydn's enlargement of that section's role within sonata form. They lived mostly apart, she became jealous of his many affairs, and he referred to her as "that infernal beast.". Mar 5, 2022.

As if to assert his personality, if only at the very end, Bernstein continues the triangle through the last two measures, although the score (and all other recordings) conclude with single triangle strokes only on the downbeats. 
Even though Haydn's contract stipulated that all his compositions would belong to the Prince, Geiringer notes that this provision was routinely ignored, and Haydn derived substantial income from selling his work to various publishers, which spread his fame yet further. Murdock further submits that Haydn kept the audience attentive and on edge with the many fascinating "deceptions" with which he constantly enlivened his work and concluded with a loud chord to send his customers home satisfied. Despite the barriers of language and culture, and fueled in equal part by his reputation and Solomon's huge publicity campaign, he was besieged with invitations and honors (including a doctorate from Oxford), hailed as a god of music, and received glowing notices. The tripartite construction of the sinfonia also evolved into sonata form, the basic structure of symphonic opening movements, in which an exposition (itself consisting of three groups of initial, contrasting and closing themes) is then developed and recapitulated. [2], The "Military" second movement is derived from a movement from an earlier Concerto for Lire Organizzate in G, Hob. 
Perhaps the high point of this period came in 1785, when Haydn fulfilled a commission from Comte d'Ogny for six symphonies for an enormous (for the time) orchestra, including 40 violins and ten basses, enabling him to explore the sheer sonic power afforded by such then-massive resources. As the movement goes on, Haydn draws out all of its motivic and harmonic possibilities.

93-104, Haydn: London Symphony No. As Haydn wrote: "The first act usually was disturbed in various ways by the noise of the latecomers. Yet, Geiringer cautions that the essential truth behind such exaggerations must be viewed in the context of the times musicians had no chance of an independent career, all artists depended on the patronage of nobility, and Haydn basked in the glory of his prince, whose musical establishment was of unparalleled splendor and excellence. In contrast to his rather staid and unsurprising Surprises, as well as his straightforward Mozart recordings of similar vintage, Knappertsbush's Military is a fascinating document, marked by a creative and deeply personal interpretive touch each movement is distended by a mammoth tempo shift at its mid-point, with varying impact. WebChapter 5 returns to the technique of paradigmatic close analysis to show Sonata Theory in practice, this time examining the first movement of Haydns Symphony No. First, Ormandy adds a few expressive touches that go beyond the score, including some romantic phrasing by slowing the tempo of the menuetto as the volume drops at the end of a phrase. However, in those days before copyright protection, pirated editions of popular composers' works were rampant. Although taping the London symphonies there had the virtue of consistency with Haydn's earlier work, the fact is that these works were designed to be played abroad. Yet in two respects the Ormandy reading serves as a solid introduction to the overall practice of treating Haydn alongside masters of succeeding generations. The Morning Chronicle reported of an encore performance a week later: "It is the advancing to battle; and the march of men, the sounding of the charge, the thundering of the onset, the clash of arms, the groans of the wounded, and what may well be called the hellish roar of war increase to a climax of hellish sublimity." Yet Beecham's interest lay elsewhere. At least to judge from lists of early recordings, by the twentieth century affection for the Haydn symphonies had shifted from the "Military" to the "Surprise" (# 94), which boasted several sets of acoustic 78s, including the first Haydn on record in 1913 (by Eduard Knneke and the Odeon-Streichorchester), while a few of the others had only a smattering of releases.

William Mallock has suggested that Haydn's soft adagio introductions to all but one of his London symphonies were intended to settle the crowd down (much as the silent, opening credits of most movies nowadays dispels the din of all the coming attractions). If this sounds like one of the warm, autumnal performances that Walter was more likely to render during his final years, then here's the ultimate surprise he rerecorded the Military in stereo with the Columbia Symphony in 1961 (Columbia LP, Sony CD) with far more relaxed pacing, flexible tempos, crisper phrasing and even Viennese grace with his American orchestra than with the genuine Viennese one! Many other conductors would effect similar adjustments, ranging from paring the drum notes to adding soft triangle accents to a woodwind passage beginning at bar 121 of the allegretto. He stayed through the summer and the following year's concert season. Just as Haydn sensibly never returned to the scene of his greatest triumph, nor did he ever write another symphony. The news reached Johann Peter Salomon, a German violinist turned English impresario who was traveling to book new talent. In symphony: Haydn. And to complete the scheme, Knappertsbusch literally halves the tempo at the mid-point of the finale. His Military is generally relaxed aside from a swift allegretto that benefits from prominent winds that effectively offset the strong tutti outburst near the end, and with the outer movements (but, curiously, not the militaristic allegretto) fueled by especially insistent tympani. Both books comprise Joseph Haydn 18th Century Gentleman and Genius, translated and with notes by Vernon Gotwals (University of Wisconsin, 1961).

The nickname "Military" derives from the second movement (and the end of the finale), which features prominent fanfares written for C-trumpets and percussion effects.

Let Joseph McLellan of the Washington Post raise a cogent defense of that approach (assuming justification is needed): The advent of the LP should have boosted the fortunes of the Haydn symphonies each was a natural fit on a single 33 rpm side and two paired together made a sensible album. Thus, his Military concludes the opening adagio with a suspenseful held note before launching into the ensuing allegro, carefully distinguishes between the two sticks playing the bass drum in the Turkish ensemble, emphasizes the emotional shift in the allegretto with an especially brazen trumpet fanfare, softens the menuetto by shaping each eighth-note run to end on a whisper, and adds variety to the finale by hushing the exposition repeat.

When all is said and done, perhaps the most cogent and efficient summary of the Military Symphony and indeed of nearly all of Haydn's prodigious output comes from Jacobson: "A lack of appreciation for Haydn is a species of inability to enjoy the good things in life.". While the sound unmistakably is that of a full, deep modern orchestra, from the prominent bass to the strident triangle, Klemperer's seating plan that spreads the first and second violin sections across the entire front of the soundstage lends an open, airy quality that avoids any sense of stifling thickness inimical to the music.
