Description:
Almost ten years after Haydn began his creative period at Esterházy Palace, he wrote his Symphony in B flat major Hob around 1774/75. I:68. At this time, the opera business at the princely court was in a phase of development, which was also reflected in a certain operatic nature of this symphony, for example in the dramatically changeable slow movement, which is here for the last time in Haydn's oeuvre in third place instead of second. Haydn was now able to use two bassoon parts in his symphonies for the first time, giving the woodwind section more fullness in the 68th Symphony.
