Mozart: Symphony No. 22 in C major K. 162, age17
This was composed in Salzburg and dated April 29, 1773, so Mozart was not only 17 but still a fairly young 17. It is surprisingly short, and I like this symphony. My impression remains that at around age 17 Mozart’s style began to mature in a way that makes his compositions from this period very interesting.
Instrumentation:
- two oboes
- two horns
- two trumpets
- strings
