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:
- Adagio - Allegro molto
- Andante, in A major

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