Add article description

Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 41 in A major, Perger 33, Sherman 41, MH 508, written in Salzburg in 1789, is the last symphony he wrote (he lived for 17 more years).

The symphony is scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings. It is in three movements:

  1. Spiritoso
  2. Andante, in D major
  3. Fugato. Vivace molto.

The last movement is a vigorous fugato, something this work has in common with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C major.
