Haydyn's Farewell Symphony
Celenza's story is a delightful introduction to Joseph Haydn, his Farewell Symphony and 18th century life. Joseph Haydn served as personal composer for Prince Nicholas of Esterhazy for nearly 30 years. He composed music as requested by the prince, was responsible for the care of all instruments and served as spokesperson for the members of the orchestra. Summers were spent at the prince's summer estate in Hungary and one summer as autumn approached, the musicians were growing increasingly homesick. Prince Nicholas refused to return home and he also refused Haydn's request to have the musicians' families visit. Haydn decided to appeal to the prince through his Symphony in F-Sharp Major, which reflects the musician's anger, sadness and frustration. When Prince Nicholas heard the symphony, he was so moved that he decided to return home. The striking watercolour-and-ink cartoons with simple lines and exaggerated characterizations convey a sense of the excess and finery of the period. There are notes on both 18th century form and instruments, as well as on the events and personalities in the story.
