Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 3 in G major, also known as Divertimento in G major, Sherman 3, MH 26, was written in Oradea (then known as Großwardein) in 1763, according to the Göttweig catalog. It is not listed in the Perger catalog. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Salzburg Symphonies (K136-138) are examples of symphonies that were also called divertimenti (Guy, 1999).

  1. Allegro molto
  2. Andante
  3. Menuetto e Trio
