Symphony B (Haydn)

Joseph Haydn's Symphony 'B' in B♭ major, Hoboken I/108, was written between 1757 and 1760, and was one of his earliest symphonies.

It does not fall into the usual numbering scheme of Haydn's symphonies because it had later been published without its wind parts as a "Partita".[1]

It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo.

  1. Allegro molto, 4
    4
  2. Menuetto & Trio (Trio in E♭ major). Allegretto, 3
    4
  3. Andante in G minor
  4. Presto

The trio of the minuet contains a dialogue between solo viola and solo bassoon.[2]

gollark: I mean, there being one person working on it... doesn't particularly make it not bad?
gollark: Well, they probably *can't* get help as easily if people have to go through legal wotsits.
gollark: It might also be possible to get other people to help, if it was not for the whole proprietary-code-or-whatever thing.
gollark: I'll go check NPM for charting libraries, even.
