Symphony No. 5 (Haydn)
The Symphony No. 5 in A major, Hoboken I/5, by Joseph Haydn, is believed to have been written between 1760 and 1762, while he was employed either by Count Morzin or, Prince Paul II Anton Esterházy. It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo. A sonata da chiesa, it is in four movements: The opening slow movement and the trio in the third movement feature very high horn parts. Of Haydn's works, only those in the "Sonata a tre", Hob. IV/5, and the 51st symphony are more difficult. Symphony No. 5
