Mozart composed two new symphonies in the Autumn of 1773, after having returned to Salzburg from Vienna. The first of the two was the Symphony No.24 In B Flat K.182 , and the second was the Symphony No.25 in G Minor K.183 This symphony was one of two which Mozart composed in a minor key – the other being the Symphony No.40 in G Minor K.550 . The latter can be identified with some of Mozart’s most troubled and agitated music, reflecting those difficult moments in his life. However, the twenty-fifth symphony is thought to have been composed as part of a sudden wave of minor-key symphonies which appeared in the later 1760s and early 1770s – among others were composed by Vanhal, Ordonez, and Joseph Haydn. Available here is the study score for one of Mozart’s two symphonies composed in a minor key, the Symphony No.25 in G Minor K.183 . This score is ideal for study and perusal usage.
