The "Paris" Symphonies Nos. 82-87 is a set of six symphonies by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1786-1787. They exemplify the Classical symphony with expanded orchestration, prominent wind writing, rhythmic vivacity and formal innovation, written for large Parisian orchestras and marking a mature phase in Haydn's orchestral output that influenced subsequent symphonic practice.
