Why Do Mozart Symphony No. 40?

Decent Essays
Symphony No. 40, g minor, K. 550, I
I decided to do Mozart Symphony as my first choice because, it is one great performance as he creates a beautiful tone and melody. It is a very fun tune as well. What I liked about this piece of song is the way the beat sounds. The tone and melody have you bouncing sort of speak to get you into the groove of the song. It is not like all songs, it has a different type of sound that some people may or may not be use to. The symphony is in four movements. The four movements are Allegro, Andante, Menuetto and Trio, and Motto allegro.

Piano Concerto No. 23, A Major, K. 488, I
This piece of music was a bit different. I enjoyed the melody and the sound of the tune. This song has great rhythm too. What I liked

    a. As I observed Country Band March, I recognized that the arrangement of the march is relatively a five-part sectional form that brings back the opening march theme in diverse appearances, rather than what you would customarily find in a true march structure. Two groundbreaking and useful methods used by Ives were the high intricate webbing of tunes, which would generate the impression of an amateur band’s performance abilities by having musicians play out of tune, prearranged bad entrances, and hit incorrect notes; and also the way he employs polytonality and polyrhythms, which would occur when the tunes would collide and intersect. b. From my perspective, I believe that this composition has a more “accessible” sound when compared…

    When listening to any piece by Beethoven, you receive the whole range of emotions, and the Fifth Symphony is no different. Just the first four notes, a simple da-da-da-dum, is enough to send shivers up your back. Packed with all the furious confidence of Beethoven, it suggests scarlet eruptions, heavenly processions and all the powers human drama. These four notes started the memorable first movement.…

    The piece that I choice was Susato: Three Dances. Three Dance is a medieval Renaissance dance song. I chose this piece because, unlike the others one this piece was not an a cappella. This song is actually the opposite and has no one singing in it. When I listen to it does not make me want to dance, but it does make me tap my foot.…

    In Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4, the quick tempo of the piece was what communicated the most to me the emotions of the music, being dance-like. The continuous movement and quick rhythm in the piece from beginning to end makes the piece feel like something is running and pulling you along with it. The emotions of "The Mountain Whippoorwill" by Jess Turner are as diverse as the musical devices used throughout the piece, and it is the musical devices which shape those emotions. In the beginning of the song, there is suspense in the mechanical, slow melody, and then loneliness in the sole saxophone which sweetens the introduction into a…

    Even though Mozart himself, who was only 32 years old at the time and had every reason to expect to live to see the dawn of the 19th century, certainly did not expect this to be the last symphony he ever composed, Symphony No. 41 could not have been a more perfect and appropriate summation and culmination of Mozart’s genius. This is an opinion shared by many scholars. One important reason for this argument is Mozart’s juxtaposition and integration of Learned and Galant style in the finale of Symphony No. 41, which is a movement in allegro sonata form, a characteristic typically associated with the Galant style, that also contains fugues, canons, and imitations, which are characteristics of learned style. The fugal finale, giving this piece…

    "O Fortuna" was a Medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the 13th century and is part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. In 1935-36, "O Fortuna" was set to music by German composer Carl Orff as a part of "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi", the opening and closing movement of his cantata Carmina Burana. It starst off with a slow pace having pounding drums and choir that drops quickly into a quiet whisper then builds slowly into a steady crescendo of drums and short string and horn notes peaking on one long powerful note and ending quickly. I think the composer of this song wrote it to make the listeners feel a certain way and understand that what was about to happen is very important and is to not be taken lightly.…

    When I first started listening to this piece, Haydn’s String Quartet in D Major, Op. 64, “The Lark,” I was surprised by how familiar it sounded to me. I think it is well known, and has a distinct section that repeats multiple times throughout the piece, which is very well known. The strings often build up with one another to create a type of tension and anticipation throughout the movement. The piece appears to be written in ABA form, thus the listener has a clear idea of where the piece is going while listening to it.…

    Both Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were the representative composers of the Classical music which had far-reaching influence of the future generation. The achievements of Haydn symphony are extremely high, and Mozart made outstanding contribution on opera and piano concertos. There are stylistic similarities and differences in these two composers. I will illustrate the life experience, form, and performance characteristics by using Haydn Keyboard Sonata Hob.50 in C major and Mozart Keyboard Sonata K.333 in B-flat Major to demonstrate it. Life Experience Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Haydn as a great Austrian artist has a very broad area in composition, like piano trio, string quartet, symphony and so on.…
