The Toy Symphony (full title: Cassation in G major for toys, 2 oboes, 2 horns, strings and continuo) is a musical work dating from the 1760s with parts for toy instruments, including toy trumpet, ratchet, bird calls (cuckoo, nightingale and quail), Mark tree, triangle, drum and glockenspiel. It has three movements and typically takes around seven minutes to perform.
Long taken to be a work of Joseph Haydn,[1] subsequent scholarship has suggested it to be that of Leopold Mozart,[2] Joseph Haydn's younger brother Michael Haydn, [3] or most recently (1996) the Austrian Benedictine monk Edmund Angerer (1740–1794).[4] If Angerer's manuscript (from 1765, entitled "Berchtolds-Gaden Musick") is the original, the Toy Symphony was originally written not in G but in C major.[a] There is reason to believe that the true composer will likely never be known, in whole or in part, given its confused origins and the paucity of related manuscript sources.[5]
