Symphonies

Wanhal left 51 published symphonies. There are also another 81 symphonies which are preserved only in manuscripts. [according to the catalogue published by Civra Ferruccio, Torino 1985]. Even though the modern actual French spelling of Symphonie Périodique is Symphonie Périodique, the original 18th century French title of such works was Simphonie Periodique, as it can be seen on the 18th century frontispiece of Wanhal's published symphonies "a Amsterdam chez J.J. Hummel, Marchand & Imprimeur de Musique".

These works were written during Wanhal's journey to Italy, where they were written after he had met Florian Gassmann. Sources do not agree whether Wanhal wrote the operas in their entirety, or merely supplied arias to operas by Gassmann. Both works are lost.
