Thanks to a rare document from #December1775 we know what orchestra #Haydn used in 1776, both for symphonic concert (where he played 1stViolinLeader) & operas (where he played cembalo instead)!
Orchestra was ca 24 high-level musicians + some additionals hired!

#Haydn #MusicGenius works on special form Symph68: 1mv-Vivace 2MV-MENUET 3MV-ADAGIO 4mv-Presto! Peculiar structure will be in #PWranitzky (SympTheHunt c1790) & #Beethoven (SympNo9OdeJoy with 2MV SCHERZO)!
#Haydn 3mAdagio features theme similar to #Symp101Clock!

#Haydn #MusicGenius demonstrates that #Haydn can manipulate #MusicForm to his own will with 1775 Symphony 67, formally one of the most important ever!
1mv written like a final, 4mv written like a 1mv, slow mv & minuet & finale full of strange music situations!

#OratorioTobia
Despite success of #Tobia1775, #Haydn (blackmailed by #ViennaTonkünstlerSocietät ) wrote an angry letter against #ViennaTonSoc & a man full of "envy"! Due to sources like #Carpani & others, that man may be #Salieri or a representative!
