The Ensemble The Australian Haydn Ensemble, founded in 2012 by Artistic Director and Principal Violinist Skye McIntosh, has quickly established itself as one of Australia’s leading period-instrument ensembles, specialising in the repertoire of the late baroque and early classical eras. It takes its name from the great Joseph Haydn, a leading composer of the late eighteenth century, when style was transitioning from Baroque to Classical.
enthusiastic. “This recording is remarkable not only for the pianist’s wonderfully free and fluent playing, but also for the excellent performance of the Ensemble.” The Ensemble has presented a host of unique chamber music and orchestral programs, working with a range of world-class musicians such as Neal Peres Da Costa, Erin Helyard, Catherine Mackintosh (UK), Marc Destrubé (Canada), Melvyn Tan (UK) and Simon Martyn-Ellis (USA) as well as singers Stephanie True (Canada), Simon Lobelson (Australia) and David Greco (Australia). It is particularly interested in presenting unusual programs of eighteenth century chamber versions of larger orchestral symphonic and concerto works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, as well as bringing to a wider audience some of the lesserknown contemporaries of these composers, such as Abel, Albrechtsberger, C.P.E. Bach, J.C. Bach, David, Graun, Hoffmeister, and Vanhal.
The Ensemble has developed a flourishing regular series at the Sydney Opera House Utzon Room and in Canberra, where it was Ensemble in Residence at the Australian National University during 2014. It also performs throughout regional NSW and presents education workshops to students of all ages, focusing on imparting eighteenth century historical performance techniques. Based around a small core of strings with flute, the Ensemble performs in a variety of sizes and combinations, ranging from string or flute quartet or quintet, to a full orchestra.
Members of the Australian Haydn Ensemble bring a wealth of expertise from first-class period and modern ensembles and orchestras around the world, such as the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Concerto Köln, English Baroque Soloists, English Chamber Orchestra, Irish Chamber Orchestra, Julliard 415, Les Talens Lyrique, New Dutch Academy, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Orchestra of the Antipodes, to name a few.
In 2016 the group released its debut ABC Classics recording The Haydn Album which reached number one on the Australian Aria Classical charts. It received rave reviews, one claiming that the Ensemble stood “proudly shoulder to shoulder with the many period instrument ensembles found in Europe.” In October 2017 AHE released a new CD on the ABC Classics label. Beethoven Piano Concertos No. 1 & 3 showcases newly-commissioned chamber versions of the works in the style of the eighteenth century, in collaboration with Aria award winning historical keyboardist Dr Neal Peres Da Costa.

Artistic Director's Message I am thrilled to present this program of works by Beethoven’s teachers, students, and the master himself in our Beethoven & Haydn tour. I am especially pleased to include so many relatively unknown chamber arrangements and works in one program.
the strong influence of Haydn as Beethoven’s teacher reflected in the work. Albrechtsberger, also a teacher of Beethoven, is not often performed today. This string sextet from his Opus 13 is even more rarely performed. As far as we know, this performance is an Australian premiere and there are no known recordings of these sextets.
The Trauer is one of Haydn’s most famous symphonies. This particular arrangement is, as far as we are aware, an unknown work. The arrangement is found in a set of twelve symphonies published in 1850 by Robert Cocks & Co., edited by a mysterious ‘Dr Hague’. Colin Coleman, a rare music collector in the United Kingdom, brought the symphonies to my attention last year. Knowing my keen interest in these editions, Colin contacted me immediately when he came across the set. I was very excited when I realised that none of the symphonies were included in the works published and popularised in chamber arrangements by Johann Salomon some fifty years earlier. We look forward to presenting this arrangement of the Trauer as well as other symphonies from the set in the future.
Ries was one of Beethoven’s students and also worked as a copyist and secretary for him. He produced a large amount of his own compositions as well as arrangements of Beethoven’s works. The Flute Quartet in D minor is a virtuosic work in which the influence of his teacher Beethoven can be clearly discerned.

The arrangement of Beethoven’s Symphony No.1 is also very unusual. It was found in the Rare Music Collection of the British Library a few years ago, and belongs to a set of arrangements of Symphonies No.1 to 7 which have long been overlooked. In presenting this alongside the Haydn symphony we see

About The Music What to listen for
the court was at Esterháza for ten months: the musicians were separated from their families in Eisenstadt and discontent simmered. It was in this year that Haydn famously wrote his ‘Farewell’ symphony, in which the musicians gradually left the stage at the end of the final movement, each symbolically blowing out the candle that illuminated his music. Symphony No. 44 also originated in this time, a response to the Prince’s demand for entertainment.
Today’s program contains works that bear witness to a remarkable fusion of musical styles. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, the clear structures of Classicism began to bend to the beginnings of ‘wild’ Romanticism. This path led via the dark emotions of Sturm und Drang (storm and stress) in which the pleasant artifices of Classicism were injected with the drama of minor keys, dramatic changes of loud and soft, and sudden changes of harmony. But the new style also accommodated the old-fashioned art of counterpoint: the skilful combining of melodies so that they work independently as well as part of a whole. Canon and Fugue are two aspects of counterpoint; the creation of interweaving voices is another. Listen for different instruments playing melodies in answer to one another, sometimes in opposition, sometimes towards a common goal. Also notice how the music is still structured so that – no matter what wild turns it takes – it always leads you back to the home key and a sense of resolution.
Symphony No. 44 is an example of Haydn’s growing sophistication as a symphonic composer. Haydn was so taken with it that he requested the slow movement be played at his funeral. It was composed in the same year as the ‘Farewell’ symphony, but shows more of the influence of a new aesthetic with which Haydn had been experimenting since the mid-1760s, and which later became known as ‘storm and stress’. It is a work of contrasts. It opens with a grand gesture in unison, becoming a sighing melody underscored by a restless ‘heartbeat’ accompaniment. This melody is repeated, with an added countermelody, and then bursts into running semi-quavers in which upper and lower voices answer one another. The minuet (unusually placed as the second movement) is canonic: the voices imitate each other, acting almost independently, yet harmonising perfectly. The slow movement is warm and poised. Its restrained balance is typical of the Classical era, albeit with a heart-breaking turn to the minor mode. The final movement returns to the drama of the first, filled with the momentum born of independent voices all moving towards a common goal.

Esterháza was a lonely place for the musicians of Prince Nicolaus’s court. Officially, the estate was a summer residence, a seasonal retreat from the main palace in Eisenstadt, 40 kilometres distant. In reality, the Prince began to spend ever-longer periods of time there. In 1772,
Haydn’s symphonies were popular among arrangers: reducing such large-scale works for use in small ensembles was a lucrative business, 8
particularly in England. Charles Hague (1769–1821) was a violinist from Yorkshire. His career led him to London (where he took lessons from the famous violinist and impresario Salomon) and eventually became professor of music at Cambridge. He composed some minor works, and also arranged twelve of Haydn’s symphonies for quintet.
'romantic wildness'. He tended to exaggerate changes of dynamic and create surprising effects through articulation and accent. The Flute Quartet in D minor reflects this style with its sudden shifts to unexpected keys, juxtapositions of singing melodies with energetic rhythmic figures, and explosive dynamic contrasts. It is technically challenging and intended to arouse the emotions.

Albrechtsberger led a distinguished career as organist, theorist, composer, and teacher. Those who heard him play the organ declared him unrivalled. His treatise on composition was influential far beyond Vienna, where he spent most of his working life. By contrast, his contemporaries sometimes described his compositions as ‘dry’. It is interesting that, while Albrechtsberger’s treatise deals with the art of counterpoint and he had studied the music of Palestrina through Mozart to master fugue, canon, and the laws of working numerous independent voices simultaneously, his music is almost exclusively in the homophonic Galant style. As a teacher, his championing of counterpoint made him a sought-after composition teacher – over many years he taught the Haydn brothers, Beethoven, and others. They went on to incorporate the intricacies of multiple voices into Classical structures, giving birth to some of the most sophisticated and large-scale music that had ever been composed. In this way Albrechtsberger contributed much to shaping the course of Western music.
Ferdinand Ries was born a well-connected man. His father, Franz, was a violinist in the court orchestra of Elector Maximilian Friedrich in Bonn and taught the young Ludwig van Beethoven the violin. Franz himself had been taught violin by Johann Peter Salomon, who became an important musical figure. Bernard Romberg was also in the orchestra, and became young Ferdinand’s cello teacher. By the age of 11, Ries was already employed as a violinist in the court orchestra. As a composer, Ries was largely self-taught. He studied books on composition and works by composers such as Mozart and Haydn. In 1801, Ries arrived in Vienna armed with a letter of introduction. He approached Beethoven, who took him in as a piano pupil. He did not become Ries’s composition teacher, but recommended the young man begin studies with Albrechtsberger, the most famous teacher of counterpoint of the time. Although he did not study composition with Beethoven directly, Ries had close contact with him for the next four years, and throughout Beethoven’s life.
Although Albrechtsberger may not have utilised counterpoint to its fullest extent in the majority of his compositions, the String Sextets Op.13 do show some of his skill. They comprise a
Ries became well established as a composer and pianist. In particular, his dramatic performance style on piano was noted and described as 9
slow first movement followed by a fugue in which the six instruments act as independent voices. The instrumentation of two violins, two violas and cello add a breadth of sound from high to low reminding us of the organ. Yet the articulations and musical gestures are suited to the instruments, particularly to the decisive articulations possible on gut strings.
immediately. The whole piece is built using motifs – small musical cells which Beethoven ingeniously recasts and develops. This technique was familiar to audiences via composers such as Haydn, but Beethoven would extend it immensely in the coming years. Beethoven’s use of motifs as the basis for his music was one of the characteristics that allowed the huge structure of works such as his Ninth Symphony to be coherent to the listener.
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827)
Symphony No. 1 in C major arr. Masi (1800) III. IV. V. I.
The second movement of the First Symphony shows Beethoven’s education in counterpoint, gained in part from his studies with Albrechtsberger. The third movement is marked as a Minuet, a quick dance of the Baroque era. However, it is also marked Allegro molto, much faster than a traditional minuet. All of Beethoven’s later symphonies have a scherzo movement in place of a minuet – literally translated as ‘joke’. The minuet of the First Symphony would also easily fit such a description. The final movement begins with a repeated scale, as if it cannot decide what to do next. When it finally arrives, the ensuing allegro is witty and delightful, pitting the sections of the orchestra against one another. Indeed, contemporary critics noted the strong presence of the wind section, now a force in its own right rather than subordinate to the strings.
Adagio molto – Allegro con brio Andante cantabile con moto Menuetto: Allegro molto e vivace Adagio – Allegro molto e vivace
In comparison with his later symphonies, Beethoven’s First Symphony seems almost unremarkable. However, when it first appeared, this symphony left audiences in no doubt as to the potential of the young composer. Beethoven came to Vienna in 1792. Mozart had died a year earlier, and Beethoven entertained the rapidly solidifying intention of becoming Mozart’s musical ‘heir’. His first public performance was a piano concerto, and he produced piano trios and string quartets to great acclaim. He did not yet present a symphony: expectations for the symphonic genre had grown with the formidable standards set by the mature works of composers such as Mozart and Haydn. Beethoven therefore delayed presenting his first symphonic work until he felt that he was ready.
Girolamo (or Giovanni) Masi (1761-1805) was well known as an arranger of popular largescale works for a ‘room orchestra’. He reduced the scores of symphonies by composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Romberg, and Woelfl, thereby making them accessible to a wide variety of people. He excelled in using small forces to create an effect that suited both the intimacy of domestic venues and the grandeur of the original works.
Beethoven took care to compose in such a way that the First symphony was surprising but still understandable. The first surprise was immediate: he began by denying his audiences a statement in the home key of C major. The symphony opens with a series of questioning gestures, almost searching, which eventually arrive in C major only to move on
