![Mozart - Symphony No. 20 in D, K. 133 [complete]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mX0jIMIfbsA/hqdefault.jpg "Mozart - Symphony No. 20 in D, K. 133 [complete]
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 symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two horns, two trumpets and strings. There are four movements:
1. Allegro:
The first movement, in D major and 4/4 time, is written in sonata-allegro form, with the notable deviation of the recapitulation being the mirror image of the exposition. That is, the recapitulation starts with the second theme, and Mozart waits until the very end to unveil the return of the first theme. He does so by first bringing the theme in softly with the strings, then repeating with the strings now doubled by the trumpets.
2. Andante:
The second movement, in A major and 2/4, features strings with a solo flute, which typically doubles the first violin one octave higher. The violins play with mutes throughout the movement, and the bass part is played pizzicato. These features, in combination, give the movement a delicate texture.
3. Menuetto; Trio:
This minuet in D major starts boldly. A more subdued trio written primarily for strings (with a bit of oboe).
4. [Allegro]:
The fourth movement, also in D major, is a long dance in 12/8 time cast in sonata-allegro form. Though Mozart himself did not label the tempo of the fourth movement, the character of the piece and the standard symphonic form of the time indicates that Mozart probably intended the piece to go at an allegro tempo.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts String Quartet No. 17 in B-flat major K. 458, nicknamed The Hunt, is the fourth of the Quartets dedicated to Haydn. It was completed in 1784. It is in four movements:
1. Allegro vivace assai
2. Menuetto and Trio. Moderato
3. Adagio, in E-flat major
4. Allegro assai
Neither Mozart nor Artaria called this piece The Hunt. For Mozarts contemporaries, the first movement of K.458 evidently evoked the chasse topic, the main components of which were a 6/8 time signature (sometimes featuring a strong upbeat) and triadic melodies based largely around tonic and dominant chords (doubtless stemming from the physical limitations of the actual hunting horns to notes of the harmonic series). Its popularity is reflected in its use in various films, such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mystery Date and Star Trek: Insurrection.

![Mozart - Flute Concerto No. 1 in G, K. 313 [complete]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/omVNyUrwmxs/hqdefault.jpg "Mozart - Flute Concerto No. 1 in G, K. 313 [complete]
The Flute Concerto No. 1 in G major (K. 313) was written in 1778 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Commissioned by the Dutch flautist Ferdinand De Jean in 1777, Mozart was supposed to provide four flute quartets and three flute concerti, yet he only completed two of the three concerti: K. 313 being the first. The Andante for Flute and Orchestra K. 315 may have been written as an alternative slow movement for this concerto.
The piece is scored for a standard set of orchestral strings, two oboes (which are replaced with two flutes in the Adagio movement), and two horns. The piece itself is divided into three movements:
I. Allegro maestoso
II. Adagio ma non troppo
III. Rondo: Tempo di Menuetto.
The opening of the second movement is often known as resembling the famous theme from the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss, Jr., which was composed many years later. The piece is used as the hold music for the New York City 311 service.

![Mozart - Symphony No. 38 in D, K. 504 [complete] (Prague)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ot3g41rHFqU/hqdefault.jpg "Mozart - Symphony No. 38 in D, K. 504 [complete] (Prague)
The Symphony No. 38 in D major, K. 504, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in late 1786. It was premiered in Prague on January 19, 1787, a few weeks after Le nozze di Figaro opened there. It is popularly known as the Prague Symphony. Mozarts autograph thematic catalogue bears December 6, 1786, as the date of composition. Other works written by Mozart about contemporary with this symphony include the twenty-fifth piano concerto and the piano trio in B-flat (K. 503 and K. 502, respectively) the former also written in December 1786, the latter written in November. The aria scena and rondo Chio mi scordi di te? K.505 for soprano and orchestra with piano obligato, regarded by Girdlestone in his book on Mozart and his Piano Concertos as a work on the same level, also dates from the same period. This work would be called No. 37 if the K. 444 work (mostly by Michael Haydn, except for the slow introduction, which is by Mozart) was removed from the numbering. The early classical symphony of the 18th century would either have three movements or four (or one movement in three recognizable sections, like the 26th or the 32nd), the four-movement symphonies having a minuet in addition. By the time Mozart wrote his Prague symphony, however, the symphony was no longer a step away from the opera overture, no longer bound to this tradition, so that the symphony without a minuet could be, and was, similar in weight to his other symphonies, different mostly in the lack of that minuet and not in overall specific gravity. The Prague Symphony was scored for two flutes, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. The work has the following three movements:
1. Adagio—Allegro, 4/4 (Sonata form)
2. Andante in G major, 6/8 (Sonata form)
3. Finale (Presto), 2/4.
Although Mozarts popularity among the Viennese waxed and waned, he was consistently popular among the Bohemians and had a devoted following in Prague. A piece appearing in the Prager Neue Zeitung shortly after Mozarts death expresses this sentiment: Mozart seems to have written for the people of Bohemia, his music is understood nowhere better than in Prague, and even in the countryside it is widely loved. The Prague Symphony was written in gratitude for their high esteem.

![Mozart - Symphony No. 35 in D, K. 385 [complete] (Haffner)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p3rI-nFMFZE/hqdefault.jpg "Mozart - Symphony No. 35 in D, K. 385 [complete] (Haffner)
Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1782 and is also called the Haffner Symphony. It was commissioned by the Haffners, a prominent Salzburg family, for the occasion of Sigmund Haffners ennoblement. The Haffner Symphony should not be confused with the eight-movement Haffner Serenade, another piece Mozart wrote on commission from the same family in 1776. The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in A, 2 bassoons, 2 horns in D and G, 2 trumpets in D, timpani, and strings. Mozarts choice of key for the Haffner Symphony is an aspect that catches ones attention. According to Cuyler, the key of D major, which was so felicitous for the winds, served Mozart more often than any other key, even C, for his symphonies, including the Paris (No. 31) and Prague (No. 38) symphonies. The key is also indicative of the works serenade origins as all of Mozarts orchestral serenades are scored in D major. Hence, it is not surprising that the Haffner Symphony was written in the key of D major. The symphony is in four movements:
1. Allegro con spirito, 4/4
2. Andante, 2/4
3. Menuetto, 3/4
4. Presto, 2/2.
The Haffner Symphony usually runs somewhere around 20 minutes in length. A recording by George Szell with the Cleveland Orchestra (Sony SBK 46333) runs 19.11; one by Iona Brown with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields (Haenssler CD 94.003) is 21.09; and one by Sir Neville Marriner also with the same ensemble (Philips 420 486-2) runs 21.34.

![Mozart - String Quintet No. 4 in G minor, K. 516 [complete]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pGe4o2jk2-E/hqdefault.jpg "Mozart - String Quintet No. 4 in G minor, K. 516 [complete]
The String Quintet No. 4 in G minor, K. 516 was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Like all of Mozarts string quintets, it is a viola quintet in that it is scored for string quartet and an extra viola (two violins, two violas and cello).
The work was completed on May 16, 1787, less than a month after the completion of his grand C Major Quintet, K. 515. This would not be the last time that a great pair of C major/G minor works of the same form would be published in close proximity and assigned consecutive Köchel numbers. The following year, the 40th (G minor) and 41st (C major) symphonies would be completed within a few weeks of each other.
The mood of the piece is dark and melancholic, typical of Mozarts G minor works. The work is in four movements:
I. Allegro
II. Menuetto: Allegretto
III. Adagio ma non troppo
IV. Adagio - Allegro
The first movement is in sonata form with both the first and second themes beginning in G minor. The movement does not resolve to the major key in the recapitulation and has a minor-key ending.
The minuet is placed second and is a minuet in name only as the turbulent G minor theme and heavy third-beat chords make this movement very undancelike. The central trio is in a bright G major.
The third movement in E-flat major is slow, melancholic and wistful, furthering the despair brought forth by the previous movements. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky said of this movement: No one has ever known as well how to interpret so exquisitely in music the sense of resigned and inconsolable sorrow.
The start of the fourth movement is not the typical quick-tempo finale, but a slow cavatina back in the home key of G minor. It is a dirge or lament that is even slower than the previous movement. The music wallows in this dark area for a few minutes before reaching an ominous pause. At this point, Mozart launches unexpectedly into the ebullient G major Allegro which creates a stark contrast between it and the movements that preceded it. Critics have often questioned how such an insouciant and carefree finale could be tacked on after three-plus movements of intense pathos.

![Mozart - String Quartet No. 15 in D minor, K. 421 / K. 417b [complete]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pNdNcJou7pg/hqdefault.jpg "Mozart - String Quartet No. 15 in D minor, K. 421 / K. 417b [complete]
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts String Quartet No. 15 in D minor K. 421/417b, the second of the Quartets dedicated to Haydn and the only one of the set in a minor key, is believed to have been completed in 1783. The quartet is, however, undated in the autograph. It is in four movements:
1. Allegro moderato
2. Andante (F major)
3. Menuetto and Trio (the latter in D major). Allegretto
4. Allegretto ma non troppo
The first movement is characterized by a sharp contrast between the aperiodicity of the first subject group, characterized by Arnold Schoenberg as prose-like, and the wholly periodic second subject group. In the Andante and the Minuet, normal expectations of phraseology are confounded. The main part of the Minuet is in minuet sonata form, while the contrasting major-mode Trio ... is ... almost embarrassingly lightweight on its own ... [but] makes a wonderful foil to the darker character of the Minuet. The last movement is a set of variations.
