Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Symphonie No. 31 'Paris' K297

Following nearly 4 years without having composed a new symphony, although still writing opera overtures and works from orchestral serenades, Mozart composed the 'Paris' Symphony. Mozart received the commission from Joseph Legros, when him and his mother were in Paris in 1778. Mozart composed the work for the largest orchestra he'd written for until then in a symphony, marking the first time which he had used Clarinets in one of his symphonies. Mozart hadtaken pains to write the work in a style that would appeal to the French and, despite a dismal rehearsal, the first performance was well received. Available here is a study score of Mozart's Symphony No. 31 in D 'Paris' K. 297, whichis ideal for study and perusal usage.
