Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his Symphony No. 24 in B flat major, K. 182 (173dA) in Salzburg in 1773, when he was just 17 years old. The symphony premiered on October 3, 1773, at the Archbishop's Palace in Salzburg, with Mozart conducting. The symphony consists of three movements: 1. Allegro spiritoso 2. Andantino grazioso 3. Allegro The first movement, Allegro spiritoso, is in sonata form and begins with a lively and energetic theme played by the strings. The second theme is more lyrical and is introduced by the woodwinds. The development section features a dialogue between the strings and woodwinds, with the music becoming more intense and dramatic. The recapitulation brings back the main themes, with the movement ending in a lively coda. The second movement, Andantino grazioso, is a graceful and elegant minuet and trio. The minuet features a delicate melody played by the strings, while the trio section is more playful and features a dialogue between the woodwinds and strings. The final movement, Allegro, is a fast and lively rondo. The main theme is introduced by the strings and is then developed and varied throughout the movement. The music is full of energy and excitement, with the symphony ending in a triumphant coda. Overall, Symphony No. 24 is a youthful and exuberant work, showcasing Mozart's mastery of classical form and his ability to create memorable melodies. The symphony is notable for its use of dialogue between the different sections of the orchestra, as well as its dynamic contrasts and rhythmic vitality.
