Source-derived summary

Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 33 in B♭ major, Perger 24, Sherman 33, MH 425/652, was mostly written in Salzburg in 1786.

The symphony is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. It is in four movements:

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “symphony by Michael Haydn” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3507744. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1786, 2006, 1737 and 1806.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
