Mozart's Symphony "No. 4" in D, in fact the second of his authenticated symphonies, was probably composed during the London visit, although Mozart expert Neal Zaslaw believes it was not composed until the Mozarts reached The Hague, the family's next port of call after they left London in August 1765. Scored for two horns, two oboes and strings (the standard symphonic scoring of the period), the three movements are an Allegro that opens with a fanfare-like motif, an Andante in G major whose drone invokes pastoral connotations, and a two-part finale (Presto) in jig style.
