Symphony No. 9 (Mozart)

Symphony No. 9 in C major, K. 73/75a, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was likely composed in July 1772[1] in Salzburg between his second and third Italian journeys.

The symphony is in four movements and is Mozart's first extant symphony in the key of C major. There is no information concerning which of the many Italian concerts given by the Mozarts during this visit saw this symphony's first performance. The autograph score is preserved in the Biblioteka Jagiellońska in Kraków.[2]

gollark: I was going to suggest a bitmap or something, but you need *three* states for that - block, no block, unscanned block.
gollark: It's "block or not block at specific coordinates", right?
gollark: If you serialize all your data in some application-specific binary format, that should be smaller than a bunch of ASCII.
gollark: You could maybe make a better encoding for it.
