The music files on this page will not stop playing once I press "stop". In fact the only way for the music to stop is to let it play all the way or turn off the computer. I find this slightly irritating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.239.135.140 ( talk) 21:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

One of the sources is attributed to a Anthony Hopkins. It seems more likely that Antony Hopkins, the composer and musical analyst, is meant. Somebody more qualified than myself could correct this, please.
i don't get it.
I'm pretty sure that it's "Anthony."
Are we sure it is at the beginning of the development section? It seems to occur in the middle of it; as it is 2/3 of the way through the movement and well past the first statement of the themes.
It does not matter that one of Mozarts significant pieces had a sudden change from a major to a minor!
Unlike many minor-key finales of the Classical era, this movement remains resolutely in the minor mode to the very end.
I think this sentence should be removed. Many, if not most, movements which start in the minor remain in the minor (and plenty of symphonies in the minor do as well).-- Zeisseng 18:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
This has been removed from the article pending a reference. The similarity is fairly well known, its a theme from the concerto not long after the piano enters. Right after G major is first reached, there's this brief G minor interlude that sounds just like this symphony and then when G major returns the main "second theme" (5-3-2-1--5-3-2-1--6-4-3-2-2) takes over. I'll find a reference. DavidRF ( talk) 23:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
I was wondering... The "C" sign on a music sheet, does mean 4/4 normally, doesn't it? I think it's not exactly the same as 2/2. Also the German version of this page says it's written in 4/4. If it would be 2/2, there should be a vertical line through the C (₵). I don't want to edit the page by my self, because I'm not a specialist in music, or Mozart. But I really think it's 4/4...

Does the Sinfonia for La Betulia liberata (K. 118/74c) in D minor count? Zaslaw counts it in his book. Double sharp ( talk) 15:21, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
"The first theme is well known, and it also appears in the first movement of his Piano Concerto No. 21, which he had written 3 years before this symphony, in 1785."
Where? It has nothing to do with either the main theme, the side themes or the epilogue theme in the first movement of that concerto (No. 21 with the famous 2nd "Elvira Madigan" movement). Aejsing ( talk) 22:03, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

The second movement is displayed with the wrong key signature (two flats; should be three, being in E♭ major). Double sharp ( talk) 15:14, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
The sentence under “the music” that talks about the minuet section claims that ‘various commentators have asserted the minuet would not be suitable for dancing’.
This implies that most minuets would. This misleading and I think it should be removed.
Minuets were originally dances but composers used the dance FORM “minuet” for concert music (not intended for dancing) for centuries. (Along with many other dance forms like the Sarabande, Gavotte etc). There’s no reason to suppose (or imply) that Mozart’s Symphony would be for dancing.
I’ve never edited so I’m hesitant to do it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.202.9.78 ( talk) 12:53, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
