Mozart Symphony 29 Organ Transcription

The Symphony n°29, in A major, K 201 (K6 186a) was composed in Salzburg and then completed on April, 6th 1774. Mozart curiously cut from his own hand's original the composition date which however other sources reported. The Symphony was included by Mozart in a rich volume which comprehended also other nine works of him. This represented a selection of works which Mozart considered particularly valuable for live executions in Wien. The Allegro Moderato hereby transcribed, which is the first tempo of the Symphony, is characterized by a tightly imitative but at the same time fresh and vital writing, which give us a glimpse of the mature Mozart: we can clearly see how the composer has so far completely absorbed the rigorous counterpoint studies, and how he is able to insert them in his typical writing naturally.
