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.
