Symphony No. 9 (Michael Haydn)

Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 9 in D major, Perger 36, Sherman 9, MH 50, was written in Salzburg in 1766. It is the 21st D major symphony attributed to Joseph Haydn in Hoboken's catalog.

Scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings. In four movements:

  1. Allegro assai
  2. Andante, in D minor
  3. Minuet and Trio
  4. Presto assai

Note however that Sherman and other scholars believe the Minuet and Trio may have been composed by someone else.

Discography

Included in a set of 20 symphonies on the CPO label with Bohdan Warchal conducting the Slovak Philharmonic. This recording excludes the Minuet.
