The Symphony No. 5 in A major, Hoboken I/5, by Joseph Haydn, is believed to have been written between 1760 and 1762.
It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo.[1] A sonata da chiesa, it is in four movements:
The opening slow movement and the Trio of the Minuet both feature very high horn parts. Of Haydn's works, only the Sonata a tre, Hob. IV/5 and the 51st symphony are more difficult.[2]
