SYMPHONY NO. 82 IN C MAJOR, HOB. 1/82, was subtitled �THE BEAR� due to the drone-like bass in its rollicking finale, which reminded the French of dancing carnival bears. In 1786, Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) composed it as one of the six Paris Symphonies commissioned by Count D�Ogny for the Concerts de la Loge Olympique. The work premiered the next year in Paris under the direction of Joseph Bologne. With a larger ensemble available to him, Haydn included trumpet and timpani parts for a more grandiose effect. Instrumentation: 1.2.0.2: 2 (or tpts).0.0.0: Timp: Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set).
