DLVII. HAYDN, Franz Joseph (1732-1809)
Baryton Trio #58 in D Major
1. Moderato
2. Minuetto
3. Finale: Allegro di molto
Esterhazy Ensemble
(8:22)
Another one bites the dust!
Like a little kid begging for just one more bowl of chocolate ice cream, so must have Prince Esterházy begged his Kappelmeister for just one more baryton trio! He wrote 127 of 'em ...
Picture Haydn in his study, whipping one of these out in a few hours; retiring to the family room and asking Maria what was for dinner ...
How do you say "Go F yourself" in German, cuz that's probably what he heard. Haydn had a most unhappy marriage -- no children, and both he and Maria freely mingled with whoever they wanted to ... (Haydn had previously been in love with her sister!)
