- Symphony No. 10 (Mozart)
The
Symphony No. 10 in G major, K. 74, was written byWolfgang Amadeus Mozart probably during his first journey to Italy in the spring of1770 .ref|NMAThe symphony is written for first and second
violin s,viola ,cello ,double bass , twooboe s and two horns. The duration is approximately 9 minutes. The symphony is in the form of an Italianoverture and consists of the following movements:# ("
Allegro " – "Andante ")
# ("Rondeau: Allegro")(No tempo assignments are given in the autograph score.)The "andante" section is not written as a separate movement, but as the second part of the opening movement, following immediately after a double bar.
The autograph score of the work, which does not contain any additional remarks by Mozart, bears the remark "Ouverture zur Oper Mitridate" ("Ouverture to the opera Mitridate") by the hand of
Johann Anton André , which is struck out except for the word "Ouverture".ref|cr Obviously André was under the impression that this piece was originally planned as an ouverture toMitridate, re di Ponto (which has an ouverture of its own, different from this symphony).References
