Talk:Symphony No. 22 (Haydn)

Basso Continuo
Camembert--

I've deleted your bit about the basso continuo, on the strength of James Webster's program notes for the Hogwood/Academy of Ancient Music recording of this symphony. Webster cites an article by himself in the April 1990 issue of Early Music. His evidence apparently consists of the surviving individual orchestra parts (no keyboard in symphonies), the Esterhazy payroll records, and a couple other bits. If you know of evidence that goes the other way, please change the article to restore the scholarly balance.

Thanks for starting an article on this wonderful symphony.

I didn't put the bit about basso continuo in on the basis of any real research - I must admit, it was a bit of an assumption on my part. I'm quite sure that Webster and Hogwood know more about this sort of thing than I :) Thanks for the correction and expansion. --Camembert

The first movement is the highlight of the symphony
Rather subjective, don't you think? (Give me the finale any day.) Kostaki mou (talk) 20:43, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
