ExclusiveHaydn: Divertimento in D major, Hob.X:2

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Franz Joseph Haydn: Divertimento in D major, Hob.X:2. This beautiful piece was played by The Little Orchestra of London. It has common licence (Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal) and is provided through musopen.org.

Haydn’s numerous divertimentos for strings and winds are cheerful, functional music about whose genesis we know very little. Many stem from Haydn’s early years, when the composer had to keep his head above water with musical odd jobs. Thus the Divertimento in D major Hob. II:8, for two flutes, two horns, two violins and bass, was probably composed already in the 1750s. It is one of Haydn’s few chamber works to employ flutes.

This is a picturesque and very rare landscape scene in autumn. The sea of fog overflowing the Brünig Pass in Switzerland was captured by Christian Schlegel, with the video edited by Wenjing Ma.
