Symphony No. 13 (Mozart)

Symphony No. 13 in F major, K. 112, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was written in Milan during the autumn of 1771. The symphony is in four movements, the second of which is scored for strings alone.^[1] The third movement minuet may have been written earlier, and then incorporated into the symphony—the autograph manuscript shows the minuet copied in Leopold's hand.^[1] Nicholas Kenyon describes Symphony No. 13 as the last in "conventional mode"—thereafter "we are in the beginnings of a different world."^[2]

Movements and instrumentation

The instrumentation was: strings, 2 oboes, 2 horns, bassoon, continuo^[1]

Performance details

Its probable first performance was at a concert given by Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart at the residence of Albert Michael von Mayr, on 22 or 23 November 1771.^[1] This concert may also have seen the premiere of Mozart's 12th symphony.
