	This symphony is the third in the famous series of Salomon symphonies, which Haydn wrote while in London. The four movement structure is representative of the early symphonies.
	The second movement displays the humor of Haydn.  This movement is marked andante and takes its place as the contrasting slow movement.  The structure of this movement is theme and variation.  The surprise comes after a very soft, nursery rhyme-like melody.  The loud chord which suddenly appears after the repeat will, in the words of Haydn, ". . make the ladies jump!"  Notice how the character of the theme changes with each variation.  See if you can hear when the theme is played in the minor key and when it returns to the major.  Aside from the "surprise", the shift from major to minor and back again is the most dramatic element of this movement.
