Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed Symphony No. 7a in G major, K. Anh. 221 (45a) Alte Lambacher in 1766 when he was just ten years old. The symphony was not published during his lifetime and was only discovered in the 20th century. The premiere of the symphony is unknown, but it is believed to have been performed in Salzburg, Austria. The symphony consists of four movements: Allegro, Andante, Menuetto, and Allegro. The first movement, 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, Andante, is a slow and graceful 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 third movement, Menuetto, is a lively dance in triple meter. The main theme is played by the strings, and the woodwinds provide a playful counterpoint. The trio section features a more lyrical melody played by the woodwinds. The final movement, Allegro, is a fast and energetic piece that begins with a lively theme played by the strings. The woodwinds provide a playful accompaniment, and the movement features a lively fugato section. The symphony ends with a lively coda. Symphony No. 7a in G major, K. Anh. 221 (45a) Alte Lambacher is a charming and delightful work that showcases Mozart's early talent as a composer. The symphony is characterized by its lively and energetic themes, graceful melodies, and playful accompaniments. Despite its relative obscurity, the symphony is a testament to Mozart's prodigious talent and his ability to create beautiful and engaging music at a young age.
