Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 11 in B-flat major, Perger 9, Sherman 11, MH 82 and 184, was written in Salzburg in 1766. Hans Gál attributed this work to Joseph Haydn, but he was not the first to do so (Hoboken's catalog lists this as the second symphony in B-flat major so attributed). Movements of it were published as a Joseph Haydn work, in fact, in 1772.
Scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings, in four movements:
- Allegro assai
- Andantino, in F major
- Minuet and Trio (trio in E-flat major)
- Allegro molto
