The Symphony No. 5 in A major, Hoboken I/5, by Joseph Haydn, is believed to have been written between 1760 and 1762, while he was employed either by Count Morzin or, Prince Paul II Anton Esterházy.

It is scored for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and continuo. A sonata da chiesa, it is in four movements:

  1. Adagio ma non troppo, 2
    4
  2. Allegro, 3
    4
  3. Menuet and Trio, 3
    4
  4. Presto,

The opening slow movement and the trio in the third movement feature very high horn parts. Of Haydn's works, only those in the Sonata a tre, Hob. IV/5, and the 51st symphony are more difficult.
