Symphony A (Haydn)
Joseph Haydn's Symphony 'A' in B-flat major, Hoboken I/107, was written between 1757 and 1760. It is not in the usual numbering scheme for Haydn symphonies because it was originally thought to be a string quartet (Op. 1/5) and was catalogued as Hob. III/5.[1][2]
It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns in B-flat alto, strings and continuo.[3]
- I. Allegro, 3/4
- II. Andante, 2/4 in E-flat major
- III. Allegro molto, 6/8
