Description: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote Symphony No. 30 in D major, K. 202/186b in Salzburg, completing it on May 5, 1774.
The work is scored for two oboes, bassoon, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings, but the timpani part has been lost. There has been at least one attempt to reconstruct the timpani part.
The Symphony No. 31 in D major, K. 297/300a, better known as the Paris Symphony, is one of the most famous symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It may have been the first of his symphonies to be published when Seiber released their edition in 1779.
