Joseph Haydn (1732 Rohrau/Lower Austria - 1809 Vienna)
composed this Divertimento before 1765. The term
''Divertimento'' was in use since the end of the 17th c
and merely refers to the entertaining quality of a
musical work. Divertimenti are suites - or sonata-like
instrumental works for varying forces - from solo
instruments to an orchestra. The number of movements also
varies so that as many as 12 movements were used. (E. Stadler)
