Symphony No. 45 (Haydn)
Symphony No. 45 in F-sharp minor, known as the "Farewell" Symphony (in (ドイツ語:Abschieds-Symphonie)), was composed by Joseph Haydn and dated 1772 on the autograph score.〔http://archive.org/stream/newinternational01gilm#page/43/mode/1up〕
==History==
The tale of how the symphony was composed is widely recounted; it was told by Haydn in old age to his biographers Albert Christoph Dies and Georg August Griesinger.〔Both biographies are printed in English translation in Gotwals (1961).〕
When the symphony was written, Haydn's patron Prince Nikolaus Esterházy was resident, together with all his musicians and retinue, at his favorite summer palace at Eszterháza in rural Hungary. The stay there had been longer than expected, and most of the musicians had been forced to leave their wives back at home in Eisenstadt, about a day's journey away. Longing to return, the musicians appealed to their Kapellmeister for help. The diplomatic Haydn, instead of making a direct appeal, put his request into the music of the symphony: during the final ''adagio'' each musician stops playing, snuffs out the candle on his music stand, and leaves in turn, so that at the end, there are just two muted violins left (played by Haydn himself and his concertmaster, ). Esterházy seems to have understood the message: the court returned to Eisenstadt the day following the performance.〔Ethan Mordden, ''A Guide to Orchestral Music: The Handbook for Non-Musicians''. New York: Oxford University Press (1980): 81 – 82〕
