The symphony consists of four movements: 1. Molto allegro 2. Andantino con moto 3. Menuetto 4. Presto The first movement, Molto allegro, is in sonata form and begins with a lively and energetic theme played by the strings. The second theme is more lyrical and is played by the woodwinds. The development section explores both themes and leads to a recapitulation of the main themes. The second movement, Andantino con moto, is a slow and graceful theme and variations. The theme is introduced by the strings and is then varied by the woodwinds and the strings. The third movement, Menuetto, is a traditional minuet and trio. The minuet is played by the strings and the trio is played by the woodwinds. The final movement, Presto, is a fast and lively rondo. The main theme is played by the strings and is then varied by the woodwinds and the strings. The movement ends with a coda that brings the symphony to a lively and energetic close.
