The Symphony No. 9 in C major, Hoboken I/9, is a symphony by Joseph Haydn. The symphony was composed in 1762, under the auspices of Nikolaus Esterházy, who allowed the symphony to be performed in Eisenstadt. [1]
It is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo. [2] The flutes are used in place of the oboes in the slow movement and mainly double the first violins an octave higher. [3] The work is in three movements:
-
Allegro molto, 2
4 -
Andante,
G major, 2
4 -
Minuetto e Trio,
Allegretto, both 3
4
While it was not unusual to end a 3-movement symphony with a minuet, such a minuet generally was without a trio. The trio here features a solo oboe with wind-band interludes. [3]
