This edition clarifies a performance aspect of Haydn’s Symphony in G major that has long been misunderstood: in m. 1 of the second movement (Largo) the viola, violoncello and several wind instrument parts are marked“solo”, indicating that they play important motifs or themes and ought to stand out.
Contrary to other editions, the “solo” marking in the violoncello should not be construed as indicating a solo instrument with theremaining cellos doubling the basses. Rather, the cellos should play as a section so as to stand out all the more clearly.
Continuing the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the Henle publishing company inlarge-scalechoral works, operas and symphonies, this edition is based on the Henle Complete Edition of the “Works of Joseph Haydn” . The complete performance material for several “Sturm und Drang” symphonies and all of theLondon and Paris symphonies is now available from Bärenreiter.
