Symphony No. 31 "Paris" / Symphony No. 36 "Linz" / Symphony No. 1 in E-flat major

This compilation album presents three symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, comprising works composed in 1764, 1778 and 1783. The music exemplifies Classical-era orchestral writing, ranging from youthful, chamber-like textures and bright harmonic language to fuller orchestral scoring and expanded formal development, and it illustrates Mozart's progression from his early symphonic experiments to the more ambitious public-symphony tradition of his later career.
