Mozart's twenty-eighth symphony is often put aside by musicologists because of its gallant character that one could describe as "transparent."Fact|date=September 2008 The symphony was written early in Mozart's oeuvre, following the example of the twenty-fifth and twenty-ninth symphonies.

tructure

It is written in four movements:
#Allegro con spirito
#Andante
#Menuet & Trio
#Presto

The first movement is notable for its rigorous character in the introduction. In its simple C major tonality, the melodies and themes are developed against the arpeggios in the first movement. In the finale, Mozart uses the brass more prominently than usual, offering a hint to Mozart's later symphony, the Symphony No. 41, KV 551, the "Jupiter".Fact|date=September 2008
