Structure

The symphony is scored for two oboes, four horns (two in E-flat high, two in E-flat low), and strings.

Symphony No. 19 (Mozart)

There are four movements:

  1. Allegro, 4
    4
  2. Andante, 3
    8
  3. Menuetto – Trio, 3
    4
  4. Allegro, 2
    2

The first movement opens with a motif that Mozart would later use at the beginning of his twenty-second piano concerto in the same key. [2] The exposition is brief and there is no repeat. The development focuses on new material. [2]

There is also an alternative slow movement, marked Andantino grazioso. [1] The tempo marks in the first, second and fourth movements were written in the hand of Leopold Mozart. [1]

The finale is a French rondo in seven-part form (ABACADA). Each part of the rondo is repeated except for the final A. [2]

Symphony No. 20 in D major, K. 133, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in July 1772, when Mozart was sixteen years old. This symphony is one of many written during the period Mozart stayed in Salzburg, between two trips to Italy. Compared to other symphonies Mozart wrote in this period, the scoring is extravagant, featuring two trumpets in addition to the standard oboes, horns, and strings. The key of D major, which is a key often reserved for ceremonial music, is well suited to the presence of these trumpets.

The Milanese Quartets, K. 155–160, are a set of six string quartets composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in late 1772 and early 1773 when he was sixteen and seventeen years old. They are called 'Milanese' because Mozart composed them in Milan while he was working on his opera Lucio Silla. Before this set was composed, Mozart had written one earlier string quartet, so these six quartets are numbered from No. 2 to No. 7. The quartets are written in a plan of keys of D–G–C–F–B–E following the circle of fourths.
