Symphony No. 26 (Michael Haydn)

Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 26 in E♭ major, Perger 17, Sherman 26, MH 340, written in Salzburg in 1783, was the first of the only three symphonies published in his lifetime. It was one of several E♭-major symphonies attributed to Joseph Haydn (Hob. I:Es17).

The symphony is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings. It is in three movements:

The first of these movements is now acknowledged by scholars to have been an important influence on Mozart's Symphony No. 39 in the same key.
