Symphony in F major (fragment), K. Anh. 223 (19a) is a symphony composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in 1774 or 1775. The symphony was never completed, and only two movements survive. The premiere of the symphony is also unknown, as it was never performed in its incomplete state. The surviving movements were first published in 1881 by Breitkopf & Härtel. The first movement of the symphony is marked Allegro assai and is in sonata form. It begins with a lively and energetic theme in the strings, which is then taken up by the woodwinds. The development section features a number of key changes and a more subdued theme in the strings. The recapitulation brings back the main theme in the original key, and the movement ends with a brief coda. The second movement is marked Andante and is in ternary form. It begins with a gentle and lyrical theme in the strings, which is then taken up by the woodwinds. The middle section features a more dramatic theme in the minor key, before returning to the main theme in the recapitulation. The movement ends with a brief coda. Despite its incomplete state, Symphony in F major (fragment), K. Anh. 223 (19a) exhibits many of the characteristics of Mozart's mature symphonic style. The first movement is characterized by its lively and energetic themes, while the second movement is more lyrical and expressive. The use of sonata and ternary forms, as well as the development of themes, are also typical of Mozart's symphonic style.
