Symphony No. 43 (Haydn)

The Roman god Mercury as depicted by Hendrick Goltzius

The Symphony No. 43 in E-flat major, Hoboken I/43, is a symphony by Joseph Haydn. Since the nineteenth century it has been referred to by the subtitle "Mercury".^[1] The symphony was composed by 1771. It is scored for two oboes, bassoon, two horns and strings.^[2]

The work is in four movements:

1. Allegro, 3/4
2. Adagio, 2/4
3. Menuet & Trio, 3/4
4. Allegro, 2/2

H. C. Robbins Landon describes the slow movement "as a chamber symphony opens with muted strings". It is the only movement of any of Haydn's symphonies to be in the key of A flat major.
