Franz Joseph Haydn: Symphony No. 73 in D major "La chasse", Hob. I/73 (with Score) Composed: 1780-81 Conductor: Béla Drahos Orchestra: Nicolaus Esterházy Sinfonia 00:00 1. Adagio — Allegro (D major) 08:53 2. Andante (G major) 13:57 3. Menuetto: Allegretto — Trio (D major) 16:59 4. La chasse: Presto (D major) The Symphony No. 73 in D major, Hoboken 1/73, is a symphony by Joseph Haydn composed in 1780-81. It is often known by the subtitle La chasse (The Hunt) due to the hunting horn calls in the final movement, a popular trope in eighteenth century music. The first movement displays one of Haydn's favorite musical devices, turning accompaniment into melody. Here, this is done in the simplest possible manner by constructing the main theme out of repeated notes. Once the repeated-note theme is established, then any time repeated notes are used in accompaniment, it sounds to the listener like thematic counterpoint. The second movement is based on Haydn's song Gegenliebe, Hob. XVIIa:16. The song forms the refrain for a rondo. The contrasting episodes of the rondo are derived from the song-melody and are all in the minor. The final movement was originally composed as the overture to Haydn's opera La fedeltà premiata (“Fidelity Rewarded”), a detail which has helped secure the dating of the symphony. The hunting melody of the finale is a quotation from La Chasse du cerf, a Divertissement for solo voices, chorus, and instrumental ensemble by the eighteenth century French composer Jean-Baptiste Morin. Morin himself drew upon the popular Sourcillade (or Vue) penned by André Danican Philidor in the first decade of the 18th century. Haydn's theme was therefore widely recognisable as a hunting motif. Along with the famous coda to the Farewell Symphony, La Chasse is one of the few Haydn symphonies to end quietly.
