Eric Blom compared this work's predecessor to Phedre and this work itself to Iphiginie because of its subtle yet grand nature. Its third movement features the only time the composer ever wrote separate parts for basses and cellos in a symphony minuet. Its finale is based on the hymn Lucis creator, and towards the end of the first movement of this work, the composer quotes an aria written a few months earlier for Francesco Albertarelli to be inserted into Pasquale Anfossi's opera Le gelosie fortunate. That aria is "Voi siete un po tondo," and the opening of one section is identical to that of the finale of Haydn's thirteenth symphony. Its final movement opens with a simple C-D-F-E motif and all the material of that movement is later recapped in a five-theme fugue. For 10 points, name this final symphony by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, nicknamed for its jovial quality.
