Symphony No. 11 (Haydn)
Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 11 in E♭ major (Hoboken I/11) is a symphony which may have been written as early as 1760 but no later than 1762.[1]
It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo.[2] The symphony is a sonata da chiesa in four movements:
This work has been mentioned as a possible companion piece to Symphony No. 5 in that the two symphonies are in sonata da chiesa form with finales that are not in the customary (for the time period) 3
8 meter.[3]
In the trio of the minuet, one of the parts is an eighth note behind the others, creating an effect of limping syncopation.[4]
