Symphony in G major, Hob. I:81, Score

Joseph Haydn: Sinfonía en Sol mayor, Hob. I : 81, partitura general.

Haydn?s Symphony in G major Hob. I:81 comes from a series of three symphonies completed in late 1784 (nos. 81, 80 and 79, presumably in that order). No autograph score survives for Hob. I:81, thus our Urtext edition is based on copyists? manuscripts and first editions. As with so many of his symphonies, Haydn wrote this one to provide new music for his employer, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy.
