In the impossibility of giving a complete thematic list of Haydn's 125 Symphonies, some particulars regarding a few of them may be useful.

I. The 12 Symphonies which he composed for Salomon's concerts, numbered in the order of their occurrence in the Catalogue of the Philharmonic Society of London.

N.B.—The dates given in inverted commas as 'Londini, 1791'—are those on the autograph scores. Those in brackets, [1792], are conjectural.

The numbers in brackets, [8], are those of Breitkopf & Härtel's edition.

The titles in inverted commas are those usual in England; those in brackets are accepted in Germany.
