The effort of composing such a massive, 182-page orchestral score reportedly exhausted the aging composer, leading him to remark that the work “finished him off.”Musical Realism:Haydn used the orchestra to “paint” pictures of nature. In this four-hand version, players can still hear the chirping of birds, the croaking of frogs, and the terrifying thunder of a summer storm translated onto the keyboard.The 19th-Century “Record Player”:Before the invention of the phonograph, piano duet arrangements like this were the only way families could hear famous oratorios at home. They were the most popular form of musical entertainment in European households.Libretto Roots:The text is based on an English poem by James Thomson, which was translated into German by Baron van Swieten, the same collaborator who worked with Haydn onThe Creation.PublishersUniversal Edition (Vienna)Item Number: UE785We value your feedback!
