No. 103, as the title implies, begins with a drum solo--a shocking innovation at the time, and one which \"excited the deepest attention\" in contemporary audiences. The creepy introduction reappears just before the end of the first movement, and it's a strategy that Haydn's pupil Beethoven immediately copied in his famous Pathetique Piano Sonata. The London Symphony had a longer reach still: The finale of Brahms' Second Symphony pays affectionate homage to one famous passage, but all of this music is just as valuable for itself as for its impact on later generations. Haydn is tops! -- David Hurwitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55632018178422,"sku":"0054727736223","price":10.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_517646_324084_jpg_99ccbf87-62ac-4ae8-a5e4-9e113a271375.jpg?v=1747135302","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0054727736223-sinfonien-103-und-104","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
