Symphony No. 72 (Haydn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Symphony No. 72 in D major (Hoboken 1/72) is a symphony by Joseph Haydn.
[edit] Date of composition and scoring
The symphony was probably composed between 1763 and 1765. It is scored for flute, two oboes, bassoon, four horns and strings. It is one of the few classical-era symphonies to include four horns rather than two.
The date of this composition is earlier than its number suggests. This work is not well chronologically placed in the Hoboken numbering system: it was composed fifteen to twenty years before the neighboring works.
