The symphony consists of three movements: I. Allegro: The first movement 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 full orchestra. The development section explores different keys and themes before returning to the main theme in the recapitulation. II. Andante: The second movement is a slow and lyrical piece in the key of G major. It features a beautiful melody played by the strings with accompaniment from the woodwinds. The middle section of the movement features a solo for the oboe, which is then echoed by the other woodwinds. III. Allegro: The final movement is a fast and lively piece in the key of D major. It features a playful and energetic theme played by the strings, which is then repeated by the woodwinds and the full orchestra. The movement includes a brief development section before returning to the main theme in the recapitulation. Symphony No. 47 is characterized by its bright and cheerful melodies, lively rhythms, and elegant orchestration. It showcases Mozart's mastery of the classical style and his ability to create music that is both technically impressive and emotionally engaging. The symphony is relatively short, lasting only around 15 minutes, but it is a testament to Mozart's skill as a composer and his ability to create music that is both beautiful and entertaining.
