Symphony No. 34 (Michael Haydn)

Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 34 in E♭ major, Perger 26, Sherman 34, MH 473, written in Salzburg in 1788, is the last E♭ major symphony he wrote, the first of his final set of six symphonies. Scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings, the symphony is in three movements:

The first and last movements begin the same way, only that the first movement uses the theme to launch a sonata form while the third movement uses it to preface a fugato.
