    Symphony No. 45 in F-sharp minor, known as the "Farewell" Symphony (in German: Abschieds-Symphonie), was composed by Joseph Haydn and dated 1772 on the autograph score. It was written for Haydn's patron, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, while he, Haydn and the court orchestra were at the Prince's summer palace in Eszterháza. The stay there had been longer than expected, and most of the musicians had been forced to leave their wives back at home in Eisenstadt, so in the last movement of the symphony, Haydn subtly hinted to his patron that perhaps he might like to allow the musicians to return home: during the final adagio each musician stops playing, snuffs out the candle on his music stand, and leaves in turn, so that at the end, there are just two muted violins left (played by Haydn himself and the concertmaster, Luigi Tomasini (it)). Esterházy seems to have understood the message: the court returned to Eisenstadt the day following the performance.WIKIPEDIA

    Photos from the performance.

    A concert by Paik and Christiansen was scheduled in Hamburg on November 29, 1985, and visual artist Joseph Beuys was supposed to be a member of the group. The occasion was the opening concert of a large exhibition, "Art of Peace Biennale/The Art School of Hamburg" curated by René Block... However, as Beuys had become too ill to travel, he phoned in his participation - a novelty in those days - and is heard speaking by telephone from time to time.
