It is scored two oboes, two bassoons, two horns and strings.[1] This is one of the first of Haydn's symphonies to contain two independent bassoon parts.[2]
In the trio of the minuet, Haydn plays games with the accents, moving the appearance of a downbeat to different places in the bar—a game he would play to even greater effect in the trio of his Oxford Symphony.[2]
The slow movement opens with muted first violins playing a serenade-like melody over a tick-tock accompaniment in the second violins. Periodically in this section, the full tutti will double the accompaniment forte for four notes, turning the tick-tock into something of a fanfare.[3]
The finale is a contredanserondo with three episodes and a coda. The first episode features the bassoons, the second episode the oboes and the third episode is in stormy G minor.[2]
