EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1874, transports us back in time to an enchanting moment in musical history. The image showcases a delightful collection of musical instruments, each one meticulously arranged, as they were once used in the performance of Joseph Haydn's Toy Symphony. Haydn, the esteemed Austrian composer, composed this charming piece in 1761, specifically for the amusement of the Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II and his guests. The instruments depicted in the photograph were likely used by children in the performance, adding an element of joy and playfulness to the music. The instruments in the photograph include a cuckoo, whistle, night, owl, triangle, rattle, trumpet, drum, cymbelstein, and various other sound effects. The cuckoo and whistle, both wind instruments, would have produced unique and unexpected sounds. The night and owl, likely maracas or shakers, would have created a rhythmic and percussive effect. The triangle, rattle, and cymbelstein, all percussion instruments, would have added a lively and dynamic element to the performance. The trumpet and drum, brass and percussion instruments respectively, would have provided a bold and powerful presence. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history of music and its ability to bring joy and wonder to people of all ages. It invites us to imagine the delight and excitement of the children as they played their instruments, contributing to the performance of this beloved musical piece. The Toy Symphony remains a cherished work in the classical music repertoire, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into its history and origins.
