Symphony No. 19 (Mozart)
Symphony No. 19 in E flat major, K. 132, is a symphony composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in July, 1772.[1]
Structure
The symphony has the scoring of two oboes, four horns (two of them uniquely written in "E flat alto"), and strings.
There are four movements:
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]
