Symphony no. 104 in D major, Hob. I:104 “London”
The Symphony No. 104 in D major, Hob. I:104, is Joseph Haydn's final symphony, as well as the last of the twelve London symphonies. It is known (somewhat arbitrarily, given the existence of eleven others) as the London Symphony. In Germany, it is commonly known as the Salomon Symphony after Johann Peter Salomon, who arranged Haydn's two tours of London, even though it is one of three of the last twelve symphonies written for Viotti’s Opera Concerts, rather than for Salomon.
