Symphony No. 13 (Michael Haydn)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 13 in D major, Perger 37, Sherman 13, MH 132, believed to have been written in Salzburg in 1768, was at one time mistaken for a symphony by Joseph Haydn (Hob. I:D26).

Scored for flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings, it is unusual in that its third movement consist of two minuets:

  1. Allegro
  2. Andante, in G major
  3. Menuettos I & II
  4. Allegro molto assai
