Symphony No. 21 (Michael Haydn)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 21 in D major, Perger 42, Sherman 21, MH 272, written in 1778, is believed to have been written in Salzburg.

Scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and strings. In three movements:

  1. Adagio - Allegro molto
  2. Andante, in A major
  3. Presto

This symphony is one of the few by Michael Haydn to have a slow introduction to the first movement (Symphony No. 30 is another).
