1757: Haydn: Symphony No. 19 in D major, age 25

Mr. Peabody Says:

This is another short symphony and another early one where the number is nonsense. Start here: Presto 2:45. Again you hear the typical fast last movement that just bounces in a way that makes you want to tap your foot. The change to D minor in the slow movement gives a good change of tonality.
