Symphony No. 14 in A major, K. 114, is a symphony composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on December 30, 1771, when Mozart was fifteen years old, and a fortnight after the death of the Archbishop Sigismund von Schrattenbach.[1] The piece was written in Salzburg between the composer's second and third trips to Italy.[2] Mozart was also influenced by J. C. Bach's "Italianate" style of composition".[3][4]

Musicologist Jens Peter Larsen called the symphony "One of [Mozart's] most inspired symphonies of the period... a fine example of the fusion of Viennese symphonic traditions with distinctly Italian cantabile."[5]

Movements

The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes (2nd movement only), two horns in A, and strings with divided violas in the 1st and 2nd movements.
