Three Versions:
The symphony exists in 3 versions. The first version is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, and strings. Subsequently, the second version included a second bassoon part and a timpani part. Haydn may have added flute and trumpet parts for a third version performed in London.
Hogwood, version two
So far I have not found a recording with version three, which would be my preference. If Haydn really did prepare the 3rd version for London, that’s the one I would like to hear.
