The Symphony No. 101 in D major (Hoboken 1/101) is the ninth of the twelve so-called London Symphonies written by Joseph Haydn. It is popularly known as The Clock because of the "ticking" rhythm throughout the second movement. ==Composition, premiere, and reception== Haydn completed the symphony in 1793 or 1794. He wrote it for the second of his two visits to London (1791–2, 1794–5). The work was premiered on 3 March 1794, in the Hanover Square Rooms, as part of a concert series featuring Haydn's work organized by his colleague and friend Johann Peter Salomon; a second performance took place a week later.〔Robbins Landon 1976, 240–242〕 As was generally true for the London symphonies, the response of the audience was very enthusiastic. The ''Morning Chronicle'' reported: :As usual the most delicious part of the entertainment was a new grand Overture (is, symphony ) by HAYDN; the inexhaustible, the wonderful, the sublime HAYDN! The first two movements were encored; and the character that pervaded the whole composition was heartfelt joy. Every new Overture he writes, we fear, till it is heard, he can only repeat himself; and we are every time mistaken.〔Robbins Landon 1976, 241〕 The work has always been popular and continues to appear frequently on concert programs and in recordings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Symphony No. 101 (Haydn)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
