The twelve "London Symphonies" comprise the sublime final statement of Haydn's symphonic oeuvre. They were written for the London impresario Johann Peter Salomon, and Haydn himself conducted their premieres during his lengthy stays in the English metropolis in 1791/92 and 1794/95. Dated 1791 in the autograph manuscript, the Symphony no. 95 begins in c minor but by the recapitulation of the first movement has turned to the major mode, and the rondo finale gleams entirely in radiant C major. Cellists love the two middle movements, in which Haydn furnished their instrument with wonderful solo passages.

This study edition adopts the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition, thereby guaranteeing the highest scholarly quality. An informative preface and a brief Critical Report make the handy score an ideal companion for all current and soon-to-be Haydn fans.
