SYMPHONY NO. 104 IN D MAJOR (H. 1/104) is the last foray into the symphonic form by Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809). It is sometimes called the LONDON SYMPHONY, due to the theme in the finale which recalls the urban street cries that listeners would have been familiar with. It is also known as the Salomon Symphony, after the violinist and impresario Johann Peter Salomon who coordinated Haydn’s London tours. It premiered at the King’s Theatre on May 4, 1795, in a performance that featured other works by the composer. A great success, the work is a masterful display of forty years’ perfection and innovation. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set).
