Song of the Day - Haydn - Menuet from "Palindrome" symphony
This is my submssion for @recordpool, Song of the Day.
Sometimes composers can be too smart for their own good. The Haydn Palindrome symphony is full of palindromic references. Just for a reminder, a palindrome is something that reads the same backwards as it does forwards. Clever, but is it musically pleasing?
The menuet from this symphony is the most obvious example of this idea. The clip from below actually audio reverses the music, and you can hear that indeed, the dance is completely palindromic. Cool?

adventures in the "game" of music composing.
Yes, it is investing, but I'm not sure if it is really much more than a fun game. The music is good, but you wouldn't know the trick if you heard it without being told.

Played backwards sounds a lot better than reversing the audio track!
Interesting curio.

Thanks, it is strange. Of course, the reversed audio is completely bizarre as it reverses the natural decay of the notes!
It is a pleasure to listen too - maybe not as interesting musically as some of the other pieces - so amazing to be able to compose something like that!!!
Yes, there are these little 'interesting' pieces scattered throughout music history. Mozart even composed one that could sit between two players and they would play, one reading normally, and the other reading upside and back to front.
Those guys would have been YouTube stars today lol
Very talented and pushing the limits.
