    Symphony Of Mozart

    • 484 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Symphony in G major was one of the four symphonies composed by Mozart during the spring of 1773, composed at the age of 17. The date of completion is not clear, but it is somewhere between March 30 and May 19, 1773. It was composed two weeks after Mozart's returning to Salzburg, after his second trip to Italy and the performance of his opera, Lucio Silla in Milan. Since it was composed two months before his visit to Vienna, the four symphonies may have been considered as “audition” pieces for the court of Vienna. All four symphonies are in three movements, reverting to the pre-Haydn, Italian overture format of the symphony, possibly indicating Mozart's recent musical experiences in Italy. The symphony may have revealed elements of the Mozart’s…

    One of the greatest work in classical period, Mozart’s Symphony in G minor, K.550 (1788) is analysed in many different point of views. These musicological writings reflect the writer’s interpretations of the piece which enhance my appreciations from shallow to deep understanding. My personal understanding of Mozart’s Symphony in G minor has been greatly developed by two articles: “Mozart’s Symphony in G minor, K.550: An Aesthetic Analysis” by A. Cutler Silliman and “Mozart’s Musical…

    95th Symphony

    • 504 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The understated work of Haydn’s 95th Symphony displays a variety of uncommon techniques and symphonic devices that create a dramatic yet lyrical work of music. The work is the third of Haydn’s 12 London Symphonies and diverts from common characteristics of Haydn’s works most notably it being the only minor tonality among the London Symphonies. The first movement (of which will be explored in this essay) creates a unique stance among Haydn’s other symphonies, in that the work omits a slow…

    Mozart Symphony No. 40

    • 517 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Symphony No. 40 in G minor (Movement One) is a musical piece from the Classical Era composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. One main observation I noticed, is there are no trumpets or timpani’s used in the piece. This stood out to me because most classical orchestras had a wide range of instruments, which include trumpets and timpani’s. The piece begins with string instruments playing at a very fast tempo (4/4), which presents the first theme. The melody of the piece creates sound to represent…

    Symphony no.40 contains an exposition, a development, and a recapitulation. The exposition of a sonata form is a large section of music that introduces the basic material of the movement.

In this exposition, the first theme is repeated several times, and then the second theme is introduced shortly after the first theme. The next…

    The instrumental musical piece from the Classical Period that I chose to discuss this week is Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 Second Movement: Andante con moto, composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.
