Haydn's Symphony in G major, Hob. I:47 was probably written around 1772. It is a work in four movements, and in this work Haydn finds a new sense of poise and surenesss. The "Minuetto al Roverso" at the end is the reason this symphony is sometimes called The Palindrome: the second part of the Minuet is the same as the first but backwards, and the Trio is also written in this way.
