This is a list of solo piano pieces by Joseph Haydn.
Two numbering schemes for the sonatas are commonly used. Here, the pieces are sorted using the numbering method proposed by H. C. Robbins Landon, [1] while the "Hob. XVI" specification refers to its index in the Hoboken catalogue.

These works are in Category XVII of the Hoboken catalogue.
Symphony No. 103 in E♭ major is the eleventh of the twelve London symphonies written by Joseph Haydn. This symphony is nicknamed The Drumroll after the long roll on the timpani with which it begins. It is from 1795, and his second-to-last symphony.
The Symphony No. 101 in D major is the ninth of the twelve London symphonies written by Joseph Haydn. It is popularly known as The Clock because of the "ticking" rhythm throughout the second movement.
The Symphony No. 86 in D major, Hoboken I/86, is the fifth of the six Paris Symphonies written by Joseph Haydn, and was written to be performed in Paris in 1787. He wrote it in Esterháza in 1786, but for an orchestra much larger, at the instigation of Count Claude d'Ogney.
The Symphony No. 75 in D major is a symphony composed by Joseph Haydn between 1779 and 1781.
The Symphony No. 72 in D major is a symphony by Joseph Haydn. The symphony was probably composed between 1763 and 1765. The date of this composition is earlier than its number suggests. This work is not well chronologically placed in the Hoboken numbering system: it was composed fifteen to twenty years before the neighboring works.
The Hoboken catalogue is a catalogue of the musical compositions by Joseph Haydn compiled by Anthony van Hoboken. It is intended to cover the composer's entire oeuvre and includes over 750 entries. Its full title in the original German is Joseph Haydn, Thematisch-bibliographisches Werkverzeichnis. The Haydn catalogue that now bears Hoboken's name was begun in card format in 1934; work continued until the publication of the third and final book volume in 1978.
The Symphony No. 53 in D major, Hoboken I/53, is a symphony by Joseph Haydn. It is often referred to by the subtitle "L'Impériale". The symphony was composed by 1777. It is scored for flute, two oboes, bassoon, two horns, timpani, and strings.
Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 39 in C major, Perger 31, Sherman 39, MH 478, written in Salzburg in 1788, is the last C major symphony he wrote, the sixth of his final set of six symphonies.
The Symphony No. 37 in C major, Hob. I/37, is a symphony by Franz Joseph Haydn. The numbering is completely misleading, as it is clearly one of Haydn's earliest symphonies. A copy of the score found at Český Krumlov, Czech Republic, is dated 1758. It can be presumed it was written for the orchestra of Count Morzin, in which Haydn was employed until February 1761.
Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 14 in A major, Hoboken I/14, may have been written between 1761 and 1763.
The Symphony No. 18 in G major, Hoboken I/18, is a symphony by Joseph Haydn. The composition date is conspicuously uncertain. The Breitkopf catalogue entry assures that it was composed no later than March 1766, the date of the Esterhazy orchestra moving to Esterhaza, but most scholars believe it was composed at least a few years before then. Dates between 1757 and 1764 have been also suggested but not proven.
The Piano Sonata in E minor, Hob. XVI/34, L. 53, was written in the late 1770s by Joseph Haydn and published in London around 1783 by Beardmore & Birchall.
Twenty Variations in G major, Hob. XVII/2, was written in the 1760s by Joseph Haydn. In 1788/1789, Artaria published the Arietta con 12 Variazioni in A major, which is an abridged version of the Twenty Variations in G major, and in a different key.
The Piano Sonata No. 15 in C major, Hob. XVI/15, is an arrangement for solo keyboard of the 1st, 3rd and 4th movements of the Divertimento in C by Joseph Haydn. This sonata is now considered spurious.
The Piano Sonata in B-flat major, Hob. XVI/17, is a composition that was originally attributed to Joseph Haydn, but was later considered to have been written by an unknown composer, subsequently identified as Johann Gottfried Schwanenberger.
The Piano Sonata in D major, Hob. XIV/5, L.28, also called a divertimento, is a sonata written c.1765–1771 by Joseph Haydn. However, Anthony van Hoboken's catalogue states the composition date as "before 1766". It may have been written for 2 violins and cello.
The Piano Sonata in C major, Hob. XVI/50, L.60, was written c. 1794 by Joseph Haydn.
The Keyboard Variations No. 5 in C major, Hob. XVII/5, is a set of Keyboard variations written by Joseph Haydn in 1790 and published by Artaria & Co. on February 9, 1791.
The Sonata in C minor is a keyboard sonata composed by Joseph Haydn in 1771. It is also referred to as a piano sonata. The three-movement work was published by Artaria in 1780 in a set of six sonatas dedicated to the sisters Katharina and Marianna Auenbrugger.
