Symphony No. 14 (Michael Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 14 in B-flat major, Perger 52, Sherman 14, MH 41, is believed to have been written in Salzburg in the late 1760s. For some reason Lothar Perger believed it to be the last symphony Michael Haydn ever wrote. This work was at one time attributed to Joseph Haydn, the third work in B-flat major so attributed.
The score is unusual in that it calls for 4 horns instead of the usual 2. In addition to the four horns, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, and strings. It is in three movements:
- Allegro molto
- Adagio mà non troppo
- Menuetto e Trio, both in E-flat major
