Symphony in F major, K.76

The Symphony "No. 43" in F major, K. 76/42a, was probably written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The symphony is scored for two oboes, two horns in F, two bassoons and strings. The oboes are silent for the second movement. The inclusion of the bassoons is notable as in contemporary orchestras bassoon parts were not usually written in and simply doubled the cellos and double basses. In contemporary orchestras, it was also usual to include the harpsichord if they were available in the orchestra to reinforce the bass line and act as the basso continuo. The duration is approximately 15 minutes.

The symphony consists of the following movements:
Allegro maestoso, 44
Andante, 34 in B-flat major
Menuetto, 34 - Trio (D minor)

Allegro, 24
The autograph has been lost. The only source for this symphony was a set of parts in the archives of the publisher Breitkopf & Härtel, which was destroyed during World War II.
