This sparkling little work is one of Mozart's lesser-known Symphonies. It is supposed to have been composed at Salzburg in 1713-in which year Mozart wrote a Mass, four Symphonies, six String Quartets, and several other things!
The work is rather unusual in form, for the 'classical' period. It consists only of three short Movements, and there is no sort of finality at the end of the First and Second Movements, the First leading straight into the Second, the Second into the Third.
The dashing youth Phaeton, having been permitted by his father, the Sun, to drive the fiery chariot, loses control of the horses. The car of flame is approaching the earth, and must set it on fire if nothing can intervene. At the last instant Jupiter hurls a thunderbolt, saving the universe but destroying the rash youth.
This is the story Saint-Saens illustrates in his Symphonic Poem.
