Haydn Symphony No.96 in D major (The Miracle) (Hob.I:96) (Full Score)

Composed in 1791 and nicknamed “The Miracle”, this symphony belongs to the first group of London Symphonies together with Nos.93 and 95.  The nickname “Miracle” originates from a performance of a Haydn symphony (though probably not this one) in which several rows of listeners vacated their seats attempting to view “Papa” Haydn from a closer range.  Moments later a chandelier fell directly on the then empty seats fortunately injuring no one.
