Presto

Description

From Symphony No. 1, K. 16 While his father was critical of his son's earliest works, audiences and musicians have grown to love and adore the simplistic beauty of young Mozart's first symphony. The third movement, "Presto" (from Symphony No. 1, K. 16), by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and arranged by Anthony Granata, is a perfect choice for late beginner and early intermediate orchestras. Re-written from the original key of E-flat major to G major, the work foreshadows the great masterpieces yet to come. Your students will be enticed and challenged by the young genius's first symphony, including original articulations, hooked bowings, accidentals, and dynamics. (2:00)
