Symphony No. 41 (Michael Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 41 in A major, Perger 33, Sherman 41, MH 508, written in Salzburg in 1789, is the last symphony he wrote (he lived for 17 more years).
The symphony is scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings. It is in three movements:
- Spiritoso
- Andante, in D major
- Fugato. Vivace molto.
The last movement is a vigorous fugato, something this work has in common with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C major.

This symphony has been recorded on LP by the Little Orchestra of London and the RIAS-Sinfonietta Berlin.[1]
