Everything about Symphony No 63 Haydn totally explained
The
Symphony No. 63 in
C major (Hoboken I/63) is a
symphony by
Joseph Haydn. It is often known by the title of the second movement,
La Roxelane, named for
Roxelana, the influential wife of
Suleiman the Magnificent of the
Ottoman Empire. This second movement was originally part of Haydn's incidental music for
Charles Simon Favart's stage work
Soliman der zweite (or
Les Trois Sultanes).
Date of composition and scoring
The symphony was composed by
1781. There are two versions of this symphony: the so-called "first version" is scored for
flute, two
oboes, two
bassoons, two
horns, two
trumpets,
timpani and
strings, while the "second version" has the same scoring but with only one bassoon and no trumpets or timpani.
Movements
The two versions are not only differently scored; the third and fourth movements of both versions are also totally different.
First Version
Second Version
IV. Finale: Presto.
The first movement is derived from the overture to Haydn's opera Il mondo della luna.
The "La Roxelane" second movement is in double variation form.
