F. J. Haydn sinfonía 45 de los adioses | Mediateca de EducaMadrid

Unfortunately, however, at the Summer Palace in Esterháza there was not enough space to accommodate the orchestra musicians' families. 00:00:01

Wives and children stayed north in Eisenstadt, eagerly awaiting the yearly leave of their menfolk. 00:00:12

And what a calamity befell the orchestra when the Prince decided one day, for reasons of his own, to postpone their home leave. 00:00:20

In the absence of unions and the notion of work ethics for servants of the court, 00:00:29

there was no way to protest. 00:00:35

But Haydn, ever resourceful when it came to the defense of his musicians, 00:00:38

invented a new tool for confrontation with the nobility, 00:00:42

the tool of musical wit. 00:00:47

He presented a new symphony. 00:00:50

The last movement started presto. 00:00:53

But then, the jolly mood suddenly changed. 00:00:59

Adagio. 00:01:15

Without warning, the first oboe and a horn player stopped playing, blew out their candles, left. 00:01:26

Eleven bars later, the bassoonist promptly walked away. 00:03:13

several bars after that the cellist and the double bass followed them then even the violins started 00:03:19

to move off finally only two violins were left as an echo of the absent symphony oh I see what 00:04:02

you mean said the prince at long last you're dropping a hint are you not correct me if i'm 00:05:09

wrong but i suspect that the musicians want to see their families of course how foolish of me 00:05:17

they can pack up tomorrow very foolish 00:05:25

haydn put his career on the line with the farewell symphony in 1772 00:05:29

but he was to stay at 00:05:38

Esterháza for another 20 years 00:05:40

never needing to drop 00:05:42

a hint quite as 00:05:44

broad again 00:05:46
