Symphony No. 39 (Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Symphony No. 39 in G minor (Hoboken 1/39) was written in 1767 or 1768 by Joseph Haydn.
This is one of Haydn's earliest minor key symphonies, placing it early among his Sturm und Drang works (such as the Symphony No. 45). The symphony was influential and inspired later G minor symphonies by Johann Baptist Vanhal, Johann Christian Bach (Op. 6, No. 6) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (No. 25).[1]
