Symphony No. 1 - D major. Wq 183/1. 2 flutes, 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and basso continuo. Jeu de parties.

In this symphony, C. Ph. E. Bach appears as pioneer of the Viennese Classicism. Just in the first movement, we encounter a theme of individual form, a seven-bar (! ) combination of syncopated tone repetition with smallsegmented triad splitting. The fact that the material of the whole movement is won from that, is a principle which was often used in the classical period. Instrumentation : 2 flutes, 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, strings and basso continuo Wq 183/1
