Symphony No. 39 (Michael Haydn) 41 in C major (also written in 1788).

Symphony No. 22 (Haydn) Symphony No. 22 (Haydn) Symphony No. 22 in E major, Hoboken I/22, is a symphony written by Joseph Haydn in 1764, under the auspices of the benign Prince Nikolaus Esterházy. Its nickname is "The Philosopher" (German ""Der Philosoph""). The composition date of 1764 appears on the autograph manuscript, which survives. Haydn composed the work during his tenure as Vice-Kapellmeister at the court of Prince Nicolaus Esterházy. As Vice-Kapellmeister Haydn was in charge of all but religious music in the Esterházy household; in particular he was the leader of the orchestra and was expected to compose symphonies for it to perform.
