Summary of This Score
This study edition is dedicated to the Symphony in G minor Hob. I:83, nicknamed "The Hen," one of the famous so-called "Parisian" Symphonies by Joseph Haydn. Commissioned for the Société Olympique, a Parisian ensemble renowned for the quality of its orchestra and the demands of its audience, these symphonies composed in 1785-1786 demonstrate particularly meticulous writing: fine motivic work, tasteful contrasts, and typically Haydnesque wit.
Symphony No. 83 stands out within the cycle due to its minor key, which gives it a more tense and dramatic color while retaining the composer's inventive momentum. The nickname "The Hen" does not come from Haydn but became established because of the sound image evoked by the oboe in the secondary theme of the first movement, a detail that has become emblematic for both listening and analysis.
Designed to accompany both informed amateurs and developing musicians, this score reproduces the musical text from the complete edition of Haydn's works, thus offering solid reliability guarantees. The foreword and the critical apparatus provide valuable insight into the work and the establishment of the text, making this edition a relevant resource for reading, studying classical orchestration, and understanding the symphonic style of the late 18th century.
