[edit] Date of composition

I've changed 1766-1767 to 1767-1768 (Robbins Landon thinks 1768). It's certainly one of the earliest of the Sturm und Drang series of symphonies. --Zeisseng 18:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bassoon in scoring?

Robbins Landon says this is scored for "2 oboes, 4 horns, strings and continuo (bassoon, harpsichord)". Does this parenthetical mention of the bassoon count? Its ambiguous enough for me to ask here. DavidRF (talk) 16:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
