Symphony No. 34 in C major, K. 338, was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1780, and completed on 29 August.
The work is scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings.
Composed in Salzburg and dated August 29, 1780. A second movement - Minuet - was torn from the manuscript.Alfred Einstein advanced a theory in the third edition of the Köchel catalogue that the Minuet K. 409 was written at a later date by the composer for this work. However, there is no proof in the sources to support his thesis
