Symphony No. 33 (Haydn)

Symphony No. 33 (Haydn)

The Symphony No. 33 in C major (Hoboken I/33) is a festive symphony by Joseph Haydn. [Antony Hodgson, "The Music of Joseph Haydn: The Symphonies". London: The Tantivy Press (1976): 59. It is placed in the chapter "The Early Festive Symphonies] The symphony was most likely composed in 1760, or at the very latest in 1761, at about the same time as No. 32. [(Hodgson, 1976): 58. "Symphonies Nos. 32 and 33 were written at much the same time."] [H. C. Robbins Landon, "The Symphonies of Joseph Haydn". London: Universal Edition & Rockliff (1955): 663. Landon is much surer with this one than he was with No. 32, being much more certain that No. 33 was composed in the range "1763-65."]

The symphony is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings and continuo. [(Landon, 1955): 663. "2 ob., 2 cor. (C, prob. "alto") and / or 2 clarini (trpt.), timp., str. [ fag., cemb. ] . The timp. pt. has not been discovered."] Haydn's original timpani part has been lost, H. C. Robbins Landon reconstructed it. [(Landon, 1955): 787] The work is in four movements:

# Vivace
# Andante, 2/4 in C minor
# Menuet
# Finale: [Allegro

The viola part in the first movement is remarkably independent, [(Hodgson, 1976): 59] while in the slow movement the harmonies are quite bare. Hodgson speculates that this was to enable Haydn, who'd most likely have been at the harpsichord, to improvise freely.

Discography

Besides omitting the harpsichord, Maerzendorfer's LP with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra also omits the repeat of the development and recapitulation in the first movement. [Hodgson (1976): 173]

Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music chose to put it on a different 3-CD set than the one with No. 32, opting to put it on a CD set with symphonies written as late as 1763. Helmut Müller-Brühl conducting the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, on the other hand, pairs it with the numerically closer Symphonies No.s 32 and 34 on the Naxos Records label, but does not use continuo for any of them.
