| | Symphony No. 40 (Mozart) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The 40th Symphony is sometimes referred to as the “Great” G minor symphony, to distinguish it from the “Little” G minor symphony, No. | | | The two are the only minor-key symphonies Mozart wrote, with the possible exception of an early and recently rediscovered A minor symphony known nowadays as the Odense symphony. | | | The symphony is scored (in its revised version) for flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, bassoon, 2 horns, and a string section containing the usual first and second violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. |

| | All Mozart |
| | Mozart was one of the most astonishing child prodigies in the history of music. | | | Because there are no known records of performances, it used to be believed that these symphonies were never heard in concert during the composer's lifetime. | | | Mozart was probably hoping to put on a special subscription series to introduce his new symphonies, but these plans don't seem to have ever come to fruition, and we cannot be sure whether he ever heard his last symphonies performed. |

| | Mozart Symphony No 40 |
| | Mozart's treatment of the Classical orchestra in Symphony No. 40 in G minor and his extension of the orchestral colours of Stamitz and CPE Bach. | | | Both symphonies open with the string section alone the first violins holding a distinctive theme over quaver activity in the viola - in Mozart's case - in the second violins, viola and cello with Bach. | | | The closing section is introduced (285) on the strings, echoing the orchestration at the start of the work before the whole orchestra, in a frenetic burst of activity underlined by constant tremolos in the violins and violas, brings the work to its tense conclusion. |

The second CD in the package features Maestro Gerard Schwarz presenting a ConductorÍs explanation of the music, life and times of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. | | | Mozart's brilliant use of counterpoint, the simultaneous sounding of different melodic strands, makes the finale of his "Jupiter" Symphony one of the outstanding musical achievements of the Classical period. | | | His output included not only symphonies and concertos but piano pieces, serenades, arias, operas and smaller species of musical theater, songs and church music. |

| | Mozart 40th Symphony |
| | Such disagreements may stem simply from the fact that symphony no. 40 displays such innovation in its unusual harmonic tension, presaging 20th century musical exploration by three centuries, and in its concentration of means, abbreviating introductory or expository material. | | | Mozart may have composed all three symphonies for a series of summer concerts that may never have taken place. | | | Mozart has taken us on an unusual voyage, but in the end his musical language still achieves a balance, order, and resolution. |

| | Penfield Symphony Orchestra |
| | Mozart sets the mood of this symphony in the first few notes with a nearly melancholic melody uncharacteristic of any of his previous works. | | | The turbulence caused by the minor mode of Symphony No. 40 has led many listeners to speculate on Mozart’s autobiographical intent. | | | If you listen closely, you will find in the triumphant horn calls of the final movement an underlying sense of the joy and irrepressible hope that characterize so much of his music. |

| | INKPOT#49 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: MOZART Symphonies Nos.40 & 41. Bruggen (Philips) |
| | This CD is not for those of you who want your Mozart full-toned and sweet, but for those wanting to listen to the driving energy which the likes of Beethoven and Mendelssohn modelled their early symphonies on. | | | I revelled at their sheer exuberance, demonstrating the enormous power that Mozart was capable of, be it the spiralling violin passages, the valiant flights of the flutes or the Jovian storm of trumpet thunderbolts in the affirming conclusion. | | | The OEC's 1985 reading is distinguished by taut discipline and surprising colour: listen to the bird-like cries and tentative musings of the woodwind, in particular the surprisingly mellow period clarinets (Mozart's favourite instrument, which he later revised into the score). |

| | Notes on Symphony no. 40 (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) |
| | The second of Mozart's two symphonies in G minor (indeed, the second of his two symphonies in any minor key, discounting one doubtfully attributed work and the symphonic prelude to an oratorio) may be the most widely recognized of any of his symphonies. | | | Indeed, there is something workmanlike in the first movement's remarkable opening, a determinedly unfussy gesture that deposits the listener in the middle of a work already in progress. | | | Notes on Symphony no. 40 (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) |

| | About the "Mozart and Martin" Program |
| | The program opens with Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G-minor, from the triptych of his last symphonies, composed in a minor key (reserved by Mozart for music of the greatest gravity) and written without known commission. | | | At this point in Mozart's career, he was in deep financial crisis; virtually all his other creativity was channeled into projects which would guarantee income, but this symphony appears to have been written from some inner impulse. |

| | Program Notes, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony 40 |
| | The symphony ends with an unrelenting and impetuous finale that, unlike Beethoven’s minor-key symphonies, maintains its darkness and intensity right up the final G-minor exclamation point. | | | These three symphonies are widely regarded as his most perfect masterpieces, and the culmination of the classical era. | | | After 25 years of composing works now relished as the crowning glories of the European repertoire, he found himself begging friends and loved one for loans; his extravagant lifestyle, lack of practicality, and erratic behavior had gradually led him to hardship. |

| | Return to Symphony of the Canyons home page. | | | Yet the history of music is also replete with stories of composers who could not find an audience, who had to choose between creating and eating, and who perished without a penny in their purse, only to leave behind works that would make their names synonymous with greatness long after their death. | | | The middle of the three, the 40th, seems to embody Mozart's own unhappiness at his circumstances in its opening movements, yet at the finish erupts with the irrepressible ebullience that characterizes so much of his music and that has brought so much joy to those who have suffered far less than he did. |
