Symphony No. 32 (Mozart)

32 in G major, K. 318, was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1779, after his return from Paris.

The two theme groups are stated amidst transitional material.

Still in the first movement, a development begins that leads to the first theme of the exposition being worked in a number of keys.

In 1785 Mozart used the symphony as an overture for a Vienna performance of Francesco Bianchi's opera La villanella rapita.
