Symphony No. 103 bears the nickname Drumroll due to the very first bar of the piece. Haydn did not write any details regarding the roll's volume or the like, thus leaving the actual execution up to the timpanist. The piece's surprising repetition of the motif from the slow introduction in several places in the first movement became a great inspiration for Beethoven a few years later.
