[edit] Date of composition

Hello DavidRF. I see you've changed the date from 1768 to 1770-71. Could you indicate your source for this? I based 1768 on Robbins Landon (Haydn Symphonies, BBC), Pierre Barbaud (Haydn, Seuil (in French)) and Nicholas Kenyon (sleeve notes to Archiv recording). It's also the date indicated in List of symphonies by Joseph Haydn. Thanks and best wishes--Zeisseng 17:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

allmusic.com also says 1768. OK, I changed it back. I was using David Hurwitz's Haydn book that has a slick table in the back listing the date, key and scoring for all the symphonies. Hurwitz is more of a convenient reference than a scholarly reference like Robbins Landon, though. He probably copied the date wrong (or perhaps I copied it wrong from the book). Thanks for catching this. DavidRF 18:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
