Symphony No. 18 in F major, K. 130, was the last of three symphonies composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in May 1772, when he was sixteen years old.[1]

Structure[edit]

The symphony is scored for two flutes, two horns in C and two horns in F for the first, third and fourth movements, in F and B-flat for the second, and strings. There are no oboes in this symphony; Mozart used flutes instead for the first time. Mozart also used a second pair of horns throughout this work, which is a rarity in his oeuvre.[1]
