Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 1 in D major, Hoboken I/1, was written in 1759 in Dolní Lukavice, while in the service of Count Morzin.[a][1] While it is reliably known that No. 1 was written in 1759, H. C. Robbins Landon cannot rule out that No. 2,[2] No. 4,[3] or both could have been composed in 1757 or 1758.
Joseph Haydn
Symphony No. 1 is scored for 2 oboes (or possibly flute), bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo.[4] Like most of the early symphonies by Haydn and his contemporaries, it is in three movements:
The first movement opens with a Mannheim crescendo which is in contrast to the rest of the symphony, which is more Austrian in character.[5]
The first movement has "frequent passages where" the violas are "used with some ingenuity and quite separately from the bass line."[6]
Notesedit
^H. C. Robbins Landon, "not sure if it is actually the first he composed, or even the first that survived to posterity."
