Symphony No. 28 (Mozart)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Symphony No. 28 in C major KV 200 was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1773. This date is probably erroneous; in fact, the symphony is contemporary with the twenty-first and twenty-second symphonies, quite former to 1773.

Mozart's twenty-eighth symphony is often put aside by musicologists because of its gallant character that one could describe as "transparent." The symphony was written early in Mozart's oeuvre, following the example of the twenty-fifth and twenty-ninth symphonies.

[edit] Form

It is written in four movements:

1. Allegro con spirito
