Symphony, K. 208+102 (Mozart)

The Symphony in C major "No. 52", K. 208+102, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1775. The first two movements are from the opera Il re pastore, K. 208, and the last movement, K. 102/213c, was composed separately. The movements are played one after another without a break.

Music
The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two horns, two trumpets and strings. The flutes are silent for the third movement. The symphony consists of the following movements: The first movement is the overture of the opera Il re pastore, while the second movement is the first aria from it, Aminta's "Intendo, amico rio", with the castrato voice replaced by a solo oboe. Eight additional bars were composed to replace the final bar of the aria, so as to allow the movement to lead directly into the third movement. The second movement is not written out completely, and Mozart may have indicated to a copyist to replace the voice with a solo oboe. It was once considered that the March in C, K. 214, might be connected to the final movement, but this hypothesis has been disproven. \relative c'' { \set Staff.midiInstrument = #"string ensemble 1" \key c \major \tempo "Molto allegro" \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t \tempo 4=144 \f r r r8 c,,-.\p b (c) b (c) f (e) r e-. d (e) d (e) a (g) r g-. fis (g) fis (g) bes (a) r a-. c (b) r b-. } ==References==
