Mvt.1  Allegro con brio

- with an opening Mannheim rocket, an arpeggiated sequence
Mvt.2  Andante
Myt.3  Menuetto & Trio
Mvt.4  Allegro

 score

Movement 1 is widely known as the 
opening music in Amadeus (1984 film)

(after 20 seconds from Prelude of Mozart's Don Giovanni)

Joyful by nature, Mozart has only 2 symphonies in G minor.  The other one is No.40, aka the  'Great G minor symphony'.

Symphony No. 23

- scoring of 2 oboes, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, and strings

- Mozart wrote the symphony as a single uninterrupted movement consisting of 3 distinct tempi: Allegro spiritoso, Andantino grazioso, Presto assai.
