Talk:Symphony No. 80 (Haydn)

Untitled

I've added a description of the first movement; please feel free to make corrections of anything that's wrong, and definitely feel free to smooth over my prose; as I'm not sure it really does a great job describing what's happening here, especially for a layman.

"bariolage" in the final movement?

I was just listening to Adam Fischer's recording of this work in my car. The three repeated notes that dominate the finale don't sound like normal repeated notes. Is this done by alternating the strings that the notes are played on like in the minuet of symphony #28. I've heard that described as bariolage (although the wikipedia article at bariolage doesn't mention the same-note case). Anyhow, is that effect dictated in the score or did Fischer decide to spice it up? DavidRF 20:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I have Fischer's recording, too, and I can hear exactly what you're talking about. I don't have access to the score now, but I can look at it as soon as I get back to my university (about 8 Jan), so if no one else gets to it first, I can do it. Leave me a note on my talk page if I forget. Heimstern Läufer 22:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

According to Brown, the first and second violins are playing an eighth note apart. So its not bariolage, but two sections of the orchestra playing the same note at slightly different timesDavidRF (talk) 02:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
