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.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The above are the numbered symphonies from Mozart's early childhood. There are also a fair amount of unnumbered symphonies from this period.
