 This is one of the first of Haydn's symphonies to contain two independent bassoon parts.In the trio of the minuet, Haydn plays games with the accents, moving the appearance of a downbeat to different places in the bar -- a game he would play to a much greater effect in the trio of his Oxford Symphony.The slow movement opens with muted first violins playing a serenade-like melody over a tick-tock accompaniment in the second violins.
