Sinfonie in F Hob. I:79, Partitur

Edición de / Edited by: Gerlach, Sonja / Murray, Sterling E.

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.
