	Haydn wrote more than a thousand works including 104 Symphonies. The 'Surprise' Sym has always been one of Haydn's most popular compositions. It received it's nickname from the 2nd mmt. In Haydn's time concerts were often very long and listeners often fell asleep. As a musical joke, Haydn wrote a very loud and unexpected surprise chord right at the end of a very soft passage so it would awaken nodding concert-goers.
