Farewell
Music for the night people -
Joseph Haydn - Symphony No. 45 in F-sharp minor "Farewell"
Symphony No. 45 in F-sharp minor "Farewell", Hob. I:45 (1772)
00:00 - Allegro assai
07:08 - Adagio
21:36 - Menuet: Allegretto; Trio
26:22 - Finale: Presto; Adagio
Performed by Charles Mackerras and the Orchestra of St. Luke's (Telarc: 1989).
Painting: Pushkin's Farewell to the Sea, Ivan Aivazovsky & Ilya Repin
The Adagio at the end of the symphony was meant to be a subtle hint Haydn gave to his patron, as he had forced all his musicians to stay at his summer residence longer than they expected. The Adagio is therefore structured in such a way that musicians stopped playing and left in turn, meaning that "they wanted to go away".
Enjoy
