It is popularly known as La Reine (The Queen). Roger Norrington conducts Stuttgart RSO The 85th Symphony was completed in either 1785 or 1786. It made its way to America early on, at first through a keyboard arrangement such as one played by Nelly Custis at the White House. Nickname (La Reine) The nickname La Reine originated because the work was a favorite of Marie Antoinette, at the time Queen of France. It is the only one of the Paris symphonies whose nickname is of 18th century origin. 1. Adagio-Vivace 0:00 2. Romance: Allegretto 10:45 3. Menuetto: Allegretto 16:35 4.
