Haydn is the father of the symphony. His music is amazing in harmony, grace and elegance. Viva Haydn a true genius of music that gives us unforgettable moments of pleasure and haunting music. Bravissimo
If This one is his SECOND, the degree of maturity is amazing.
The year 1757 was the year when the first composer of the Mannheim school Johan Stamitz passed away. The new style of the symphony with a combination of strings and 2 oboes and 2 horns and using the typical Mannheim effects was still only a few years old.
This is actually Haydn's 2nd symphony. It was composed in 1757/8. He was footloose and freelance at the time. He was hired by Count Morzin in 1759 for 200 gulden a year, and worked in his court for the next four years. The third movement has strains in it that make me mindful of Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf. I wonder who heard whom first.

Perhaps the first symphony Joseph Haydn ever wrote!

Some have argued this case, though Haydn himself was adamant in speaking to both his earliest biographers Griesinger and Dies, that his first symphony was the D major work Symphony 1 (Hob. I:1).
Sonja Gerlach, in the most up-to-date research on the chronology of Haydn’s symphonies - following-on from other scholars such as Larsen, Robbins Landon, et al - agrees with Haydn that Symphony 1 is the correct first symphony, but that Haydn in his old age got the date wrong.
The confusion over which was the first symphony arose because Haydn thought that Symphony 1 was 1759 but a manuscript copy of the badly mis-numbered Symphony 37 turned up bearing the date 1758.
Gerlach has established that Symphony 1 was in fact 1757, and that Symphony 37 followed it in either 1757 or 1758; this is now almost universally accepted as the correct order.
(1758) Il ritrovamento di una copia datata 1758 ha permesso di stabilire con certezza che questa sinfonia è una delle primissime della serie. Ciò è tanto più sorprendente, in quanto si tratta di una pagina sotto vari aspetti più matura delle sinfonie della stessa epoca e anche degli anni immediatamente successivi. Nel primo temo si ha una falsa ripresa, procedimento che Haydn utilizzerà regolarmente molto più tardi, e negli altri tre si nota uno sforzo di definizione tematica, sconosciuto, per esempio, alla sinfonia n. 1 LDC
Haydn scrisse la sua prima sinfonia (in do maggiore Hob. I:1) nel 1757; lui era fermamente convinto che fosse la prima sinfonia secondo i suoi biografi Griesinger e Dies.
Sinfonia 37 è la seconda sinfonia (1757/58).
Rare symphony when the 3-rd movement is the longest one. 😉
