THE MOZARTCIRCLE ALMANAC: YEAR 1775 ver. 20260228 HOME [A] - Important Composers in Carpani's 1812 List • Haydn J [No. 1] • Mozart [No. 25] [Ia] - Composers: Births [Ib] - Composers: Deaths The composers with [#number#] are those considered by Carpani for his exclusive list of year 1812, you can find published by MozartCircle here: http://mozartcircle.porticodoro.com/mzc/scholarworks/?Id=April2020 WARNING: ABOUT THE DATING OF COMPOSITIONS The dating of many works from this period is mostly derived from informed speculation (also for Mozart's works, but especially for Haydn's works). The printed publishing of a work, in many cases, happened ca. 5 or even 10 years after its real composition and/or its premiere. Many dates of orchestral or chamber music are determined only by the advertising system of that period. The dating you find in this Almanac tries to represent the most accurate conclusions established by scholars. |

HAYDN (JOSEPH)
[A] [see Carpani's 1812 Gran Gallery No. 1] • Oratorios 1775 • Hob.XXI:1 Il Ritorno di Tobia [C-m] (1775) It had a long and important tradition also of performances in the 18th century • Operas 1775 • Hob.XXVIII:6 L'incontro improvviso Dramma Giocoso, 1775 Schloss Esterház; Friberth after Dancourt after a vaudeville comedy) • Symphonies 1775 Haydn's Symphonies from 1774 are among the most important ones, since they represent a fundamental point of style definition both in music writing and richer instrumentation. • Hob.1:64 Symphony Tempora mutantur [A-M] (1773-75) Very Important Symphony: dating is debated some scholars keep 1773 others 1775 or a mix of both. Many think, right or not, that it represented a passage from manifest Sturm und Drang into a less evident use of Sturm und Drang music tools during development of Classical Style. Allusion of title to Elizabethan poet John Owen popular in the 18th century: Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis: Quomode? Fit semper tempore peior homo. (Times change, and we change with them. How? As times get worse, so do people.) This title probably is meant to used for the masterpiece 2mv LARGO. • Hob.1:66 Symphony [Bb-M] (1774/5-76) • Hob.1:67 Symphony [F-M] (1774/5/6-79) • Hob.1:68 Symphony [Bb-M] (1774/5-79) • Hob.1:69 Symphony Laudon[C-M] (1775-76) • Keyboard Music 1775 • Hob.16:27 Keyboard Sonata No.42 or IMSLP No.27 [G-M] (ca 1774-76) • Hob.16:28 Keyboard Sonata No.43 or IMSLP No.28 [Eb-M] (ca 1774-76) • Hob.16:29 Keyboard Sonata No.44 or IMSLP No.29 [F-M] (ca 1774-76) • Hob.16:30 Keyboard Sonata No.45 or IMSLP No.30 [A-M] (ca 1774-76) • Hob.16:31 Keyboard Sonata No.46 or IMSLP No.31 [E-M] (ca 1774-76) • Hob.16:32 Keyboard Sonata No.47 or IMSLP No.31 [B-m] (ca 1774-76) • Chamber Music 1775 • Hob.II:24 Flute, 2 English Horns, Bassoon, 2 horns [Eb-M] (1775) • Hob.IX:25 Minuet for Strings [F-M] (ca. 1775) • Hob.X:1 Divertimento for Baryton 2Hrn Strings [D-M] (1775) • Hob.X:2 Divertimento for Baryton 2Hrn Strings [D-M] (ca. 1775) • Hob.X:3 Divertimento for Baryton 2Hrn Strings [A-m] (1775) • Hob.X:4 Divertimento for Baryton 2Hrn Strings [G-M] (ca. 1775) • Hob.X:5 Divertimento for Baryton 2Hrn Strings [G-M] (1775) • Hob.X:6 Divertimento for Baryton 2Hrn Strings [A-M] (1775) • Hob.XI:114 Baryton Trio for Baryton, Viola, Cello [D-M] (1775 or before) • Hob.XII:24 Baryton Duo Baryton, unknown [D-M] (1775 or before) ________________ |
