Haydn reported a curious story during his first visit to London:
“On 26th March 1792 at Mr Barthelemon’s Concert, there was an English clergyman who sank into the deepest melancholy on hearing my Andante [here Haydn cites the opening of the second movement of Symphony No. 75], because the night before he had dreamt that such an Andante was a premonition of his death. — He immediately left the company and took to his bed, and today, the 25th of April, I learnt from Herr Barthelemon that this Protestant clergyman had died.”
