with trills to make a mincing second
theme led by the violins. And the lower
instruments repeat it insistently throughout the middle development section.
In G major, movement two is a stately,
well-bred charmer, prancing on dainty
dotted-rhythm shoes. Here a bright, agile
flute plays a prominent role, sometimes
answered by the tart sound of two oboes.
Haydn thriftily sets his finale as a
3/4-time minuet, thus combining two
movements into one. A pair of horns
answered by oboes gives this movement
a warm, earthy sound. The middle trio
section features two distinct melodies: the
first one flowing and colored by the flute
on top, the second a prim theme for the
violins that is occasionally tripped up by
some rude forte intrusions.
Instrumentation: Flute, two oboes, bassoon, two
horns, harpsichord and strings.
