Symphony No. 20 in D major, K. 133, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in July 1772, when he was just 16 years old. The symphony was premiered in Salzburg, Austria, on July 23, 1772, and was one of the first symphonies that Mozart composed after returning from his first trip to Italy. The symphony consists of three movements: 1. Allegro 2. Andante 3. Molto 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 full 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, is a slow and lyrical 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, Molto allegro, is a fast and lively piece that features a playful and energetic theme played by the strings. The woodwinds and brass provide a lively accompaniment, and the movement ends with a lively coda. Overall, Symphony No. 20 in D major, K. 133, is a youthful and exuberant work that showcases Mozart's early mastery of the symphonic form. The symphony is characterized by its lively and energetic themes, its beautiful melodies, and its playful and joyful spirit.
