Symphonies Nos. 83 and 82 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, composed in 1786. Part of the set commonly known as the Paris symphonies, they are rooted in the Classical style and are characterised by expanded orchestration, prominent wind writing and lively, characterful themes that blend humour and dramatic contrast, reflecting Haydn's engagement with large-scale public concert culture and contributing to the evolution of the late eighteenth-century symphony.
