Symphony No. 104 (Haydn)

Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 104 in D major was his last symphony. It was written and premiered in London in 1795, during the second of the composer's two visits to England.

The symphony is nicknamed the "London Symphony," although this designation could in principle apply to any of the twelve symphonies Haydn wrote for England.

12th symphony written in London, hence the name "London".
