    Haydn, Symphony no.

    26, ‘Lamentatione’
    10 questions

    1. Look at the instrumentation of this piece. Name the instruments which are
    playing. How does it compare with an orchestra from the Mannheim school? Can
    you see any other similarities or differences with Mannheim?

    The instruments playing include the violin, viola, double bass, cello, oboe, horn in d.

    The horn is in d so this means you have to transpose the notes up a major second up to
    concert pitch. At this time they are “filler instruments” because they can basically only
    play tonic and dominants, playing other notes requires more skill.

    Cello, Bass, Bassoon are playing in unison.

    Comparing to the mannheim school, there are the same amount of parts in both pieces
    (8 parts), melodies are still carried by violin 1,

    2. When was this symphony composed?

    1768

    3. This symphony employs a style known as ‘sturm und drang’? What is this and
    why is it important?

    Sturm und drang = Storm and drive


    Key things of a sturm und drang is that the beginning is minor, tense harmonies.

    At the start of the piece (bars 1-8) we hear the whole orchestra play at the dynamic forte
    and you can really feel the drive and storminess but at bar 9 the texture drops down and
    all we can hear, until bar 17, is some calm strings and at bar 7 we hear a joyful drive
    where the whole orchestra is playing again.

    This is important because this symphony is leading on to the romantic period.

    4. What is the rhythmic device which is used in the melody line at the start of the
    piece? How would you describe the texture here?

    Syncopation in the violin (quaver crotchet crotchet crotchet quaver).


    The texture is 2-part texture, melody and bassline. The melody is spread out between
    the oboes and violins; the bassline is spread out between the viola and bass, cello,
    basson.

    5. Comment on the melody line in bars 11-12.


    There is a mannheim sigh (minim crotchet slurred).

    6. Comment on the use of dynamics throughout the symphony.

    Terraced Dynamics

    7. Look at the bass part throughout the piece and comment on the instruments
    which are required to play it.

    The instrumentation in the bass line are cellos, double bass, and bassoon playing at the
    same time.

    8. Use the notes I’ve attached to look at how the structure known as ‘sonata form’
    works in the 1st movement.

    Exposition = 1 - 44
    Development = 45 - 79
    Recapitulation = 80 - 133
    The structure of the first movement is fairly simple sonata form, being in binary form
    (ABA)
    There are 2 contrasting themes, the first theme is in d minor whereas the second is in f
    major (the c sharp is natural), there is no syncopation (straight melodies), texture is
    completely different (the oboe 1 melody, oboe 2 counter melody, violin 1 broken chord,
    bassline).
    The recapitulation is in D major and this is where we see the horn have the melody with
    the oboes.

    9. What is unusual about the number of movements in this symphony?

    There are 3 movements instead of 4 (4 was most common in the classical period
    whereas 3 was more common in the baroque era)

    10. Take a look at the 3rd movement. What do you understand about the way that
    the Minuet and Trio is structured from this?

    A minuet must be in ¾
    The minuet is 47 bars long with repeats in it and the trio is bars 48 to 80
    Ternary structure (ABA).
    Extra notes

    ● A group of staves= system


    ● The phrasing of the 1st subject is 8 bar phrase and 4 bar phrases (regular
    phrases). In the 2nd subject the phrases are irregular with 9 bar phrases, 6 bar
    phrases.
