Despite needing to play catch-up, I couldn't resist doing a deep dive into #68. I spent so much time on it that I'd better be doubly quick about this one.

TL;DR: It's bloody good too!
#A-Haydn-A-Day Day 79: Symphony No. 68

One of my favourites ❤️❤️❤️

This symphony is approved by the bassoonist’s liberation front! Haydn writes for two bassoons for the first time, and places the minuet second for the last. In the process, he revolutionizes the symphony's sonic and expressive world.
