Symphony No. 15 (Mozart)
The Symphony No. 15 in G major, K. 124 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written in Salzburg during the first weeks of 1772. A note on the autograph manuscript indicates that it might have been written for a religious occasion, possibly in honour of the new Archbishop of Salzburg.[1] The work is in four movements, the first of which has been described as innovative and "daring",[2] in view of its variations of tempo.[3] The last movement is characterised by good humour and frivolity,[2] with "enough ending jokes to bring the house down".[3]
Movements and instrumentation
The work is scored for two oboes, two horns in G, and strings.[1]
