Symphony no. 100 in G major, Hob. I:100 "Military"

The Symphony No. 100 in G major, Hob. I:100, is the eighth of the twelve London symphonies written by Joseph Haydn and completed in 1793 or 1794. It is popularly known as the Military Symphony. The symphony was premiered at the Hanover Square Rooms on 31 March 1794, with Haydn himself leading the orchestra at the fortepiano. The nickname "Military" derives from the inclusion of C trumpets and "Turkish Janissary" untuned percussion, especially in the second movement and the closing section of the fourth movement, which feature prominent fanfares written for them.
