Symphony No. 14 (Haydn)

Symphony No. 14 (Haydn)

Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 14 in A major, [Hoboken-Verzeichnis|Hoboken} I/14, may have been written between 1761 and 1763. [H. C. Robbins Landon, "The Symphonies of Joseph Haydn". London: Universal Edition & Rockliff (1955): 636]

Symphony No. 14 is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo, with an important cello solo in the slow movement. [Landon (1955): 636. "2 ob., 2 cor., str., [ fag., cemb. ] . Vcl. solo in Andante."] As was becoming more common for Haydn, this symphony has four movements:

* I. Allegro molto, 3/4
* II. Andante in D major, 2/4
* III. Menuetto e Trio: Allegretto, with the Trio in A minor, both 3/4
* IV. Allegro, 6/8

The Andante was originally the finale of an early divertimento "Der Geburtstag" (en. "Birthday") (Hob. II/11).HC Robbins Landon, Haydn: Chronicle and Works, 5 vols, (Bloomington and London: Indiana University Press, 1976-) v. 1, Haydn: the Early Years, 1732-1765]

The trio of the Minuet features an oboe solo accompanied by violins and cello.

The finale is highly contrapuntal.
