Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 8 in D major, Perger 38, Sherman 8, Sherman-adjusted 10, MH 69, is believed to have been written in Salzburg, some time after 1764.

Scored for flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings, in four movements:

  1. Allegro molto
  2. Andante in G major
  3. Menuetto with Trio in D minor

The Andante and Menuetto feature significant parts for solo bassoon. The Presto finale calls for solo roles for clarinet, bassoon and horn.
