The anger, frustration, and longing of the musicians is expressed beautifully in the symphony born of the clever mind of Joseph Haydn who used it to convince Prince Nicholas that it was time to go home.Wonderfully expressive illustrations by JoAnn E. Kitchel capture all the comedy and pathos of this unique symphony.
