THE Symphony received its name because it was written in the town of Linz
(in 1783). Here Mozart stayed with one Count Thun, and gave a concert in the theatre. He writes: 'As I have not a single symphony with me, I am writing one for dear life, to be ready in time.' This Symphony in C may perhaps have been the work he refers to, though that is not certain.
It contains four Movements-the splendidly vigorous and varied First Movement (opening with a short slow Introduction), the gracious, tenderly and deeply romantic Slow Movement, the brisk Minuet, and the enargetic, effortless Finale.
