The Symphony No. 52 in C minor is one of the last ''Sturm und Drang'' symphonies composed by the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn while the composer was in residence at Esterházy in 1771 or 1772.〔H. C. Robbins Landon,〕 It is one of a number of minor-key symphonies that Haydn composed in the late 1760s and early 1770s, the others being Symphonies Nos. 39, 44, 45, and 49. The symphony was described by H. C. Robbins Landon as "the grandfather of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, also created with mathematical precision and in extreme conciseness."〔H. C. Robbins Landon, ''Haydn: Chronicle and Works'', 5 vols, (Bloomington and London: Indiana University Press, 1976– ) v. 2, "Haydn at Eszterhaza, 1766–1790", .〕 It may also have served as a model for Mozart's Piano Sonata K. 457. ==Movements== The symphony is scored for two oboes, bassoon, two horns (in C alto), continuo (harpsichord) and strings. This symphony is divided into four movements: #Allegro assai con brio #Andante in C major, 3/8 #Menuetto e trio. Allegretto, 3/4 #Finale. Presto The symphony has several distinct features. The first movement, written in Sonata-Allegro form, establishes a contrast between an agitated and forte opening theme in C minor, and a lyrical and piano second theme in the relative major (E-flat). Somewhat unusually, Haydn presents the second theme twice with transitional material in between its appearances.〔Brown, A. Peter, ''The Symphonic Repertoire'' (Volume 2). Indiana University Press (ISBN 0-253-33487-X), pp. 127–128 (2002).〕 As with his Symphony No. 45, the movement employs deceptive progressions in both the exposition (mm. 36–37) and recapitulation (mm. 130-31). The "anger and vehemence" established by the minor mode of the symphony surpasses Haydn's earlier minor key symphonic efforts.〔 〕 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. 52 (Haydn)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
