Haydn Symphonies: Concordance

From 1862, when the Société des Concerts adopted the Sieber / Deldevez numbering scheme, it is possible to identify most of the Haydn symphonies they played. Before then several numbering systems were in use. The following Haydn symphonies are known to have been in the repertoire of the Société des Concerts by 1850, since they are included in Schonenberger's collection; further, it is likely that this constitutes the full repertoire of Haydn symphonies of the first two decades:

Symphony No. 85 in B-flat Major ("La Reine")

Symphony No. 93 in D Major

Symphony No. 94 in G Major ("Surprise")

Symphony No. 95 in C Minor

Symphony No. 98 in B-flat Major

Symphony No. 100 in G Major ("Military," "Turk")

Symphony No. 101 in D Major ("Clock")

Symphony No. 102 in B-flat Major

Symphony No. 103 in E-flat Major ("Drum Roll")

Symphony No. 104 in D Major

Schonenberger's collection thus makes it possible to connect, for instance, the Symphonie [op.] 24 en ut [mineur] first performed on 6 February 1848 with Symphony No. 95 (and hence Deldevez, is in error as to some of his own dates of first performance). This concordance nevertheless remains hypothetical for works performed before the 1860s.
