Symphony No. 33 (Haydn)

33 in C major (Hoboken I/33) is a festive symphony by Joseph Haydn.

Haydn scholar H.C. Robbins Landon has dated this work to 1763–65.

[3] The symphony is scored for two oboes, bassoon, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, strings and continuo.

[4] Although Haydn's original timpani part has been lost, Robbins Landon has reconstructed it.

This latter feature may have been to allow Haydn, who typically conducted his works from the keyboard, to improvise freely.
