Joseph Haydn's last symphonies, first performed in 1794 and 1795, were created for his second visit to the British capital. He had captivated London during his first trip in 1791/92, with countless premieres and ensuing worldwide fame. The splendid monument to Haydn in the square of his birthplace, Rohrau, was erected as early as 1793, while he was still very much alive and well. Symphony No. 100 is often called The Military Symphony because of its grand second movement featuring both cymbals and triangle.
