Matthias Georg Monn (1717 - Wien - 1750) together with
Georg Christoph Wagenseil and Josef Starzer count as the better-known
composers of the so-called Viennese Pre-Classical School. It is a
little-known fact that Monn's ''Symphonie in G'' (1749) introduces a
kind of second theme (''Seitenthema'') very early in the history of
the symphony - this was important for the development of the so-called
Sonata Form.  He was also a pioneer (1740) for using a minuet in the
third movement of the type of symphony with three movements. (E. Stadler)
