Symphony n° 28 of Mozart

Written in 1773, the Symphony n°28, Kv 200, in major C is a Symphonie composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Its classification is probably erroneous; in fact this symphony is contemporary with the symphonies n° 21 and 22, quite former to 1773.

Ignored, scorned by the musicologists as all the other symphonies known as “salzbourgeoises” because of its gallant character that one could describe as “transparency”, the Symphonie n°28 is actually a very early work, following the example symphonies nº 25 and nº 29.

It cuts out in four movements:

  1. Allegro idiot spirito
  2. Andante
  3. Minuet & Trio
  4. Allegro idiot spirito

The first movement astonishes especially by the martial character by its rigorous reason by introduction. But the topics which are then developed in this work in C characteristic of its tonality are very marked by the research of the harmony and the grace, thus alleviating the arpeggio S “soldiers” who form the screen of the Allegro .

Unfortunately, the originality of the first movement which escapes the “gallant” style a little, is found only in the finale where the airs of Fanfare take again all their strength, like a premonition very remote with Symphonie n° 41, Kv 551, known as “Jupiter”.
