List of symphonies in D minor


This is a list of symphonies in D minor written by notable composers.
Baroque and Classical symphonies in D minor usually used 2 horns in F. Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 29 in D minor is notable for using two trumpets in D. In the Romantic era, D minor symphonies, like symphonies in almost any other key, used horns in F and trumpets in B-flat.
The first choice of clarinet for orchestral music in D minor is naturally the clarinet in B. This choice, however, becomes problematic for multi-movement works that begin in D minor and end in D major, as the clarinet in A would be preferable for the parallel major. One solution is to write the first movement for clarinet in B and the last movement for clarinet in A, but this burdens the player with having to warm up the A instrument in time for the switch.
