Mozart: Symphony No. 23 in D K.181, age 17
This is dated as complete on May 19, 1773.
Mozart wrote this symphony as a single uninterrupted movement consisting of 3 distinct parts marked:
- Allegro spiritoso
- Andantino grazioso
- Presto assai
For me this is strikingly original composition and there of great interest.
Instrumentation:
- 2 oboes
- 2 horns,
- 2 trumpets
- strings
- percussion is not indicated, but this sounds great with it.
