Haydn is really the father of the symphony. The elegance and harmony of their compositions are amazing. Viva Haydn and his incredible and incomparable music. The symphonies are true musical masterpieces that provides us moments of unforgettable pleasure. The orchestra interpretation and direction are amazing.
I've always felt that the Haydn symphonies between the "Paris" and "London" sets deserve a special recognition, Nos. 90-92 in particular make an excellent triptych

@@timroebuck3458 Haydn was ‘Beethoven’s teacher’ sort of…but not really. Haydn taught Beethoven counterpoint (not free composition) - a strict set of rules on musical grammar - for just 14 months from Beethoven’s arrival in Vienna in November 1792 until Haydn’s departure for his second trip to England in January 1794. There are about 245 extant counterpoint exercises completed by Beethoven, many of them not corrected by Haydn who basically was too busy with preparations for the forthcoming trip to England mentioned above (he was working on about three symphonies, and the Opus 71/74 set of string quartets at the time amongst other things). Even though the lessons covered about 14 months as explained, they were very much on-and-off. The lessons were not a success: Beethoven famously commented that he ‘…learned nothing from Haydn’, and refused to add ‘Pupil of Haydn’ to the dedication of the Opus 2 piano sonatas to his supposed ‘teacher’ a couple of years later when they were published in 1796. So it is Beethoven himself who is disputing your point, not really myself. Beethoven did learn a huge amount from Haydn, but not from plodding through endless academic exercises taken from Haydn’s heavily annotated copy of Fux’s Gradus ad Parnassum which was the counterpoint Bible of the age. When Haydn went to England, he arranged for Albrechtsberger to take over the lessons and he too continued to dose Beethoven with Fux. It is similarly very misleading to refer to Salieri as ‘Beethoven’s teacher’ as those lessons too were focussed on only one very specialist niche area - Italian vocal music (ie opera). The things Beethoven learned from Haydn came from studying his composition techniques - motivic development, through-composition, tonal relationships, building large-scale structures from small melodic or rhythmic fragments, structural innovation as found in the Opus 76 quartets (variation and fugue for example), and so on, and they came not from the counterpoint lessons, but from discussing music informally with him, being familiar with a very large corpus of Haydn’s works, copying out works - Beethoven copied out the whole of Haydn’s string quartet Opus 20 No 1, and chunks of Symphony 99 for example, and in other ways. Hope that’s useful to yourself and others; great care needs to be taken with the commonly heard refrain that ‘Haydn was Beethoven’s teacher’, as whilst in some ways he was, in the strict understanding of the word, he wasn’t.
The final movement is like nothing else I’ve heard by Haydn - it’s almost more like Rossini, especially the closing theme of the exposition (eg. 19:42). The whole thing is inspired from start to finish!
