The Symphony to be played tonight, although it was written in Salzburg when Mozart was only seventeen, foreshadows in an unmistakable fashion the fire, the mystery, and the grandeur of the great Symphony, in the same key of G minor, that he was to write fifteen years later. The direction con brio, attached to the opening Allegro, should clearly be interpreted as with spirit and passion. An Andante follows, in which a certain agitation still makes itself felt. The Minuet has a Trio in G major, for wind instruments only. With the finale there is a return to a mood of urgency and pathos.
