On their way back from Salzburg in autumn 1783, Mozart and his wife Constanze stopped off in Linz and were literally intercepted there by Johann Joseph Anton Count Thun, an old patron of Mozart. They spent a few days with him and the count invited Mozart to give a concert. Mozart wrote about this in a letter to his father dated 31 October:

"Tuesday than the 4th of November I will give academie here in the theatre. - And because I don't have a single symphony with me, I am writing a new one over my head, which must be finished by then."

He had from Thursday 30 October until the following Tuesday (3 November) to complete it. The premiere took place on 4 November at the Ballhaus in Linz. Mozart then took the symphony with him from Linz to Vienna, where another performance took place on 1 April 1784 as part of an academy he had organised.
