In 1784 the Paris-based concert enterprise, the ‘Concert de la Loge
Olympique, commissioned six large-scale symphonies from Franz Joseph
Haydn. First performed in the French capital three years later, they
soon became know as his Paris Symphonies. The Paris commission called
for symphonies for large concert halls, thereby confronting Haydn with
an entirely new problem : whereas his earlier symphonies had all been
scored for his own chamber orchestra of between twenty-two and
twenty-four musicians and intended to entertain the court, he how had to
adapt his style to a whole new type of concert. Public concerts were
far more common in Paris and London than they were in, say, Vienna.
Haydn now had to write for an orchestra of forty violins, ten double
basses and double wind, an array of forces that allowed him to achieve a
more subtly differentiated handling of timbre, greater autonomy in his
use of the individual instrumental groupings and more pointed dynamic
contrats. The Paris Symphonies are generally and rightly regarded as one
of the high points in Haydn’s output as a symphonic composer, a view
that contemporary audiences clearly shared : all six works were greeted
with loup applause when premièred in Paris. Christiane Engelbrecht
