This early symphony is thought to have been composed in 1770 during Mozart’s first visit to Milan. The date of the first performance remains unknown but a Milan venue during the period of the visit is certainly possible. Composed in the Italian overture style, the symphony’s three movements are organized in two distinct sections with the opening ‘allegro’ follwed by an ‘andante’ with no break. Shortly after Mozart’s death the composer’s manuscript ended up with the publisher Johann Andre, who mistakenly labeled it as the overture to the opera Mitridate - which has its own distinct overture.

The newly engraved study score here, edited by Richard W. Sargeant Jr., is based upon the composer’s manuscript and first edition in a very clear and readable layout. Serenissima also has the full conductor’s score and orchestral parts available for sale.
