1774: Mozart: Symphony No. 28 in C major K. 200 (173e/189k), age 18
This is a late symphony in Mozart’s “Salzburg series”. The date of composition is uncertain; it probably dates from 17 or 12 November, but no one is sure if the year is 1774 or 1773. I’m picking 1774, because it sounds like mature Mozart.
Instrumentation:
- 2 horns
- 2 trumpets
- strings.
