List of symphonies by Joseph Haydn
1908 created Eusebius Mandyczewski for the publisher Breitkopf & Härtel a list of symphonies by Joseph Haydn, which lists 104 works. This list by Anthony van Hoboken in his thematic and bibliographic catalog of works was taken over as Group I in 1957 and expanded with four levels: the Sinfonia Concertante of 1792 ( Hob I: 105 ), one was still missing Symphony in D major ( Hob: 106 ) and two early symphonies ( Hob I: 107 and 108). The latter were described by Howard Chandler Robbins Landon published by him in the Complete Edition of the symphonies with "A" and "B".
The Symphony No. 106 was originally known only by the registration of the opening bars of Haydn's design catalog. Was as a copy of a D major by Haydn Allegro found again, you recognized it as the head of a putative symphony. Due to stylistic features suspected Haydn researchers that it might be in the works for the overture to the opera Le Pescatrici. This (possibly three-movement in the original) Overture had previously been considered lost, presumably by the great fire in Esterzhaza in 1779.
The chronology of the group of works by the Hoboken directory is now considered obsolete; the Hoboken numbers are still in the publishing and CD catalogs the most common referencing of Haydn's symphonies.
Some works have programmatic titles - such as the clock, the bear or the big bang - but which usually do not come from Haydn. The group of Symphonies Nos. 82-87, 1785-1786 composed is called the Paris symphonies. Particularly well known are Haydn's last symphonies ( Hob I: 93-104 ), written for the London concerts 1792-1795 and are therefore called London symphonies.
Haydn was much involved in the development of plant form of the classical symphony (eg four-movement form, sonata form ).
