Haydn wrote his six last famous London Symphonies, Nos. 99-104, during his second stay in London in 1794/95, among them the Military Symphony. This work owes both its epithet and success to its unusual instrumentation with the extended percussion and the imitation of Turkish janissary music as was fashionable at that time. The crowning glory of his extensive symphonic oeuvre was the London Symphony the epithet of which would, of course, have been suitable for each of his symphonies performed there.
