Symphony No. 10 in G Major
Mozart’s Symphony No. 10 in G Major, K. 74, composed in 1770, is one of his early symphonies, reflecting his prodigious talent even at a young age. Written when he was fourteen, this symphony showcases the clarity and elegance that would become hallmarks of his later work.
The symphony is structured in three movements: an Allegro, an Andante, and a Presto.
The first movement is characterized by its lively and spirited themes, while the second movement offers a gentle contrast with its lyrical melodies.
The final movement, a brisk and energetic Presto, brings the symphony to a rousing conclusion. Although not as frequently performed as his later symphonies, Symphony No. 10 is a charming example of Mozart’s early compositional style and his innate sense of musical form and expression.Symphony No. 10 in G Major

With all its buoyancy, and even though the symphony ends with an emphatic G minor, the last movement feels as though it resolves the anxiety left over from movement one."
