Joseph Haydn

Hoboken also includes four other works in his "Symphony" category (Hob. I):

  • Hob. I/105 in B flat major, better known as the Sinfonia Concertante (1792)
  • Hob. I/106, for which only one part has survived (1769?)
  • Hob. I/107 in B flat major, often known not by a number but as Symphony A (composed by 1762)
  • Hob. I/108 in B flat major, often known not by a number but as Symphony B (composed by 1765)

It should be noted that Hob. I/105 is not really a symphony, but a symphonie concertante (that is, a concerto-like work with more than one solo instrument, in this case four: violin, cello, oboe, bassoon), and as No. 106 has not survived to the present day, the number of "symphonies" by Haydn is usually reckoned to be 106.

  • Symphony No. 7 in E major (D.729): Sketched in full score 1821, with part of the first movement fully orchestrated (performing versions by John Barnett, Felix Weingartner and Brian Newbould)
  • Symphony No. 8 in B minor (D.759), the Unfinished - sometimes counted as No. 7. Only the first two movements are completed, third movement was sketched, fourth was probably never written.
  • Symphony No. 9 in C major (D.944), the Great C major - sometimes counted as No. 7 or No. 8 (see: Curse of the ninth)

No score of this 'Gastein Symphony' appears to have survived, but it is often identified with the Sonata in C major for 2 pianos(D.812, Op. 140) and/or the Octet in F (D.803). Orchestrations of the Sonata, also known as the Grand Duo, were made by Joseph Joachim and others in an attempt to restore this "lost symphony" to the Schubert canon, but it is now known that the 'Grand Symphony' begun in 1824 is the same work as the "Great C major" (cf John Reed, Schubert, The Final Years (London, 1972)).
