Symphony No. 29 (Mozart)

29 in A major, K. 201/186a, was completed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on 6 April 1774.

Stanley Sadie characterizes it as "a landmark ... personal in tone, indeed perhaps more individual in its combination of an intimate, chamber music style with a still fiery and impulsive manner.

"[2] Typical of early-period Mozart symphonies, the work is scored for 2 oboes; 2 horns in A, and in D for the second movement; and strings, as was .

The second movement is scored for muted strings with limited use of the winds, and is also in sonata form.

The third movement, a minuet, is characterized by nervous dotted rhythms and staccato phrases; the trio provides a more graceful contrast.
