Mozart's 40th is his most serious symphony, one of only two out of the 41 in a minor key. In keeping with this, it's also more complex. Three of the four movements are in sonata-allegro form, with only the third movement adhering to the normal classical mold, the usual minuet and trio. The mostly somber mood has not prevented it being one of Mozart's most popular works.

When did Domenico Scarlatti establish Sonata-Allegro form?
It is not certain that any one man "established" sonata-allegro form. It developed organically, over time, from the simpler a-b-a tertiary form. Embellishments on the main theme in the "b" section gradually became the more adventurous development section of the true sonata-allegro. Most of Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas did not adhere to what Haydn and Mozart would have recognized as a sonata-allegro form.
