Symphony No. 3 (Haydn)
This article is about the symphony by Joseph Haydn. For the symphony by Michael Haydn, see Symphony No. 3 (Michael Haydn).
Joseph Haydn's Symphony No.
3 in G major, Hoboken I/3, is believed to have been written between 1760 and 1762.
It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo.[1] It was one of the earliest symphonies to have four movements:
- Allegro, 3
4 - Andante moderato in G minor, 2
4 - Minuet and Trio, 3
4 - Allegro,
The winds are not used in the slow movement, but the trio of the minuet shows "the first emergence of winds from their earlier rĂ´le ...
in the earliest divertimenti for winds and strings."[2]
The Minuet is a canon between the higher and lower voices at the distance of one bar. Haydn would later write a similar canon in the minuet of his twenty-third symphony and similar canons would be later be written into G major minuets by Michael Haydn and Mozart.[3]
