Will get the reference later, but Alfred Einstein notes that around the time of writing this symphony, Mozart copied out some of Joseph Haydn's symphonies' openings- one of which had a slow introduction (no. 75?)- the Linzer is the first of his symphonies to have one, and then he wrote a slow introduction for a Michael Haydn symphony for performance right afterwards, as noted in the link (the spurious "Mozart symphony no. 37"). May be a coincidence of course. Schissel | Sound the Note! 15:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Andante" or "Poco Adagio" for the second movement?

[edit]

I see both. NMA says Andante. Steinberg says Andante. Brown says Poco Adagio in a table and then Andante in the text. My CD collection has four Andantes (Pinnock, Mackerras, Gardiner, Bohm) and two Poco Adagio's (Marriner, Kleiber). Is there a story behind the descrepancy? I'm leaning towards putting it Andante, but I don't normally see this level of disagreement. Thanks.DavidRF (talk) 01:36, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
