Symphony no. 60 in C major “Il distratto”

EP by Joseph Haydn & Berliner Philharmoniker & Seiji Ozawa

Symphony No. 60 in C major "Il distratto" is a symphony by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1774. The work is a Classical-period orchestral composition that showcases Haydn's characteristic wit and theatrical effects—including abrupt dynamic contrasts, surprising pauses and playful dialogue between winds and strings—and sits within his middle-period symphonic output as an experiment in programme-like characterisation.
