The Symphony No. 40 in F major, Hoboken I/40, is a symphony by Joseph Haydn. Despite its number, Haydn had composed this symphony by 1763, long before the other symphonies numbered in the 30s and 40s in Hoboken's catalog.[1] Chronologically, the symphony belongs with no. 13 and has stylistic similarities with Haydn's earliest symphonic output.
