In his monumental "London" symphonies, composed between 1791 and I795, Haydn shaped the early form of the symphony and set the standard for later composers. One of the best-known works from this series, the "Surprise" Symphony, features the elegant structure and polished orchestration for which Haydn is justly famed.
The work is reproduced here in full score with bar-numbered movements. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike.
