Only a few years after Joseph Haydn's twelve “London” symphonies were written, Johann Peter Salomon (1745–1815) published ad libitum arrangements of these works for flute, string quartet and piano for the first time. Numerous reprints in Europe indicate the extraordinary success of these arrangements in the 19th century. Based on Salomon's original manuscript, Christopher Hogwood now presents a new practical edition of the arrangement of Symphony No. 97. This and the three six-part arrangements that have already been published enrich the chamber music repertoire and are likely to be as popular today as they were in the 19th century.
