Repertoire: The Haydn Symphony CRUSADE (No. 50)

Symphony No. 50 in C major These neglected symphony is one of the most fascinating that Haydn ever wrote as regards its form, and the way Haydn tells us as we listen what the formal issues really are. I suppose that isn't as thrilling as saying that the music is about death and misery, but it is for me. Musical Examples courtesy of Naxos Records.
