Classical Music / Symphonies
The Symphony No. 1 in E♭ major, K. 16, was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1764, while in London, UK. He was eight years. By this time, he was already notable in Europe as a wunderkind performer, but had composed little music. The piece was written on the Mozart family's Grand Tour of Europe in London when they had to move to Chelsea during the summer of 1764 due to Mozart's father's throat infection. The house at 180 Ebury Street, now in the borough of Westminster, where this this symphony was written, is marked with a plaque.
This symphony was first performed on 21 February 1765. The work shows the influence of several composers, including his father Leopold Mozart and the sons of Johann Sebastian Bach, in particular, Johann Christian Bach, an early symphonist working in London whom Mozart had met there.
