The symphony was composed in 1782 as part of a trio of symphonies that also included symphonies 76 and 77. These three symphonies were composed for a proposed trip to London which fell through.[1] It is scored for flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns and strings.

[edit] Influence

This symphony served as one of the models for Mozart's Piano Concerto in C minor of 1786, which employs a variance of the opening statement of Haydn's symphony.[2]
