Symphony B (Haydn)

Joseph Haydn's Symphony B in B major, Hoboken I/108, was written between 1757 and 1760, and was one of his earliest symphonies. It does not fall into the usual numbering scheme of Haydn's symphonies because it had later been published without its wind parts as a "Partita".Hodgson, Antony, "The Music of Joseph Haydn: The Symphonies", p. 48 It is scored for two oboes, bassoon, two horns, strings, and continuo.

The work has four movements:

The trio of the minuet contains a dialogue between solo viola and solo bassoon.Brown, A. Peter, The Symphonic Repertoire (Volume 2). Indiana University Press (), pp. 58-61 (2002).
