Joseph Haydn wrote Symphony No. 24 in D major, Hoboken I/24, in 1764. The work is scored for flute, two oboes, bassoon, two Horn (instrument), horns, and String section, strings with Basso continuo, continuo. The work is in four movements: # Tempo#Italian tempo markings, Allegro, # Tempo#Italian tempo markings, Adagio in G major, # Minuet, Menuet — Trio, # Tempo#Italian tempo markings, Allegro, The second movement very likely derives from the Adagio movement of a now lost Flute concerto, Flute Concerto in D major, listed in Haydn's Entwurfkatalog. While there is no extant manuscript evidence for this, the movement is consistent with Haydn's lyrical and less formalist approach to slow movement writing in the concerto genre, including, most obviously, the elision of the opening ritornello and the inclusion of an obvious cadential point at the end of the movement. (This is also true of the slow movement of Haydn's Symphony No. 13 (Haydn), Symphony No 13.)HC Robbins Landon, Haydn: Chronicle and Works, 5 vols, (Bloomington and London: Indiana University Press, 1976-) v. 1, Haydn: the Early Years, 1732-1765, 519, 568 In the final movement, Haydn again incorporates the same figure as seen in his Symphony No. 13 and Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony No. 41.
