The Symphony No. 28 in C major, K. 200/189k, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is his last piece in the "Salzburg series". [1] The exact date of composition is uncertain because of Mozart's unclear handwriting; the month is clearly November, but the day can be read as 12 or 17, and the year has been read as 1774, but more recent research points to 1773.

The symphony was written early in Mozart's oeuvre, following the example of the twenty-fifth symphony.

The entire symphony was written in four days to accommodate the local count's announcement, upon hearing of the Mozarts' arrival in Linz, of a concert. The première in Linz took place on 4 November 1783. The composition was also premièred in Vienna on 1 April 1784. The autograph score of the "Linz Symphony" was not preserved, but a set of parts sold by Mozart to the Fürstenberg court at Donaueschingen in 1786 does survive.
