Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Symphony no. 7a in G major, K. 45a/Anh 221 "Alte Lambacher"

K. 45a Composed 1768

The Symphony in G major "Old Lambach", K. Anh. 221/45a, was probably written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during 1766 in The Hague and revised in 1767. Both versions – the original and the revision – have survived.

The symphony is scored for two oboes, two horns and strings. In contemporary orchestras, it was also usual to include bassoons and harpsichord if they were available in the orchestra to reinforce the bass line and act as the continuo. The duration is approximately 14 minutes.

The symphony consists of the following movements:
Allegro maestoso, 44
Andante, 24
Presto (Molto allegro in the first version), 38
