Symphony No. 19 in E-flat major, K. 132, is a symphony composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in July 1772. [1]
Structure
The symphony is scored for two oboes, four French horns (two of them uniquely written in E-flat alto), and strings.
There are four movements:
The first movement opens with a motif that Mozart would later use at the beginning of his twenty-second piano concerto in the same key. [2] The exposition is brief and there is no repeat. The development focuses on new material. [2]
There is also an alternative slow movement, marked Andantino grazioso. [1] The tempo marks in the first, second and fourth movements were written in the hand of Leopold Mozart. [1]
The finale is a French rondo in seven-part form (ABACADA). Each part of the rondo is repeated except for the final A. [2]
