Symphony No. 16 in C major, K. 128, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1772 when he was just 16 years old. The symphony was premiered in Salzburg, Austria, on October 2, 1772, and was one of the many symphonies that Mozart composed during his early years. The symphony consists of three movements: 1. Allegro 2. Andante grazioso 3. Allegro The first movement, Allegro, is in sonata form and begins with a lively and energetic theme played by the strings. The theme is then repeated by the woodwinds and the entire orchestra. The development section features a more dramatic and intense theme, which is then followed by a recapitulation of the original theme. The second movement, Andante grazioso, is a slow and graceful piece that features a beautiful melody played by the strings. The woodwinds provide a delicate accompaniment, and the movement ends with a gentle coda. The final movement, Allegro, is a lively and playful piece that features a catchy theme played by the strings. The woodwinds and brass provide a lively accompaniment, and the movement ends with a joyful coda. Overall, Symphony No. 16 in C major, K. 128, is a charming and delightful work that showcases Mozart's early talent and mastery of the classical style. The symphony is characterized by its lively and energetic themes, graceful melodies, and playful rhythms, and is a testament to Mozart's genius as a composer.
