Haydn's 97th symphony was one of a number of symphonies composed whilst he was staying in London, performing weekly concerts organised by Salomon (after whom the set of symphonies is sometimes named). The concerts promised a new composition each week, of which the 97th, 98th and 103rd are all examples. (Whilst in England, he also received an honourary doctorate in music from Oxford.)
