Rosetti's symphony C major, Murray A3, cannot be dated precisely, it was composed however during his first years at Wallerstein, because it is mentioned with incipit in the supplement 1776/1777 to the catalogue of the publisher Breitkopf at Leipzig. The wind instrumentation consists of horns and flutes and not, as was customary at that time (and at Wallerstein too), oboes. The fact that one of the preserved sources is located in the Hofbibliothek Thurn und Taxis (the other one is at Convent Stams) might be an indication that it had been a composition mandate of the Prince of Thurn und Taxis, because also the Notturno Murray B27 with an identical instrumentation has been preserved in Regensburg only.
