musical monday - haydn was a happy man

in honour of SB who has now played this both in her GBDF and ACE piano book, and tune a day violin book. i also played it in my GBDF book more years ago than i cared to remember! i have also played it ‘for real’ and like his named symphonies a lot. i chose this version as my sister was taught piano by richard hickox’ mother, and i like the collegium musicm and their period instruments. Although not credited, this sounds like modern instruments for comparison.

here is the clock bit of the clock - again much played and much loved, fantastic first violins bit!!

and i like the idea of the farewell as well. humour and politics in music!!
