This is an arrangement of a work for orchestra (Hob. XX:1A). Haydn did not create the arrangement himself, although he approved its publication and possibly made revisions beforehand. Haydn made further arrangements for string quartet (Hob. III:50–56 = Hob. XX:1B), and choir and orchestra (Hob. XX:2).
