Mozart s Symphony No. 38 50

Created in: 1786-1787.

Premiere: 1787, National Theatre.

Duration: about 25 minutes.

Mozart's symphonies follow the most canonical forms of the time, with the first movement usually adopting the most prevalent sonata form of the classical period, i.e., the structure of the presentation, development and reproduction, and the adagio and minuet movements are also accustomed to the trilogy form, occasionally using the rondo form in the finale movement, otherwise it is still in sonata form. Mozart's early symphonies consisted of some three-movement works, while the middle and late symphonies mostly adopted a four-movement structure, with occasional exceptions (e.g., No. 38, "Prague"). In terms of length, the early works are usually shorter, while the middle and late works are relatively large.

By the way, as a little common sense for appreciating Mozart's symphonies, listeners are likely to encounter the question of why the same movement of the same Mozart symphony (especially common in later works) is so large on recording A and relatively small on recording B. In fact, this is because the conductor and the orchestra of the B recording did not play the repetitive passages in the movement. These repetitions are often indispensable if the repertoire is strictly followed, but many recordings consider discarding repetitive passages in order to reduce the length of the repertoire and include more pieces on the record.

1. Mozart.

Symphony masterpieces: Symphony No. 39 in E flat major, Symphony No. 40 in G minor, Symphony No. 41 in C major.

2. Symphony No. 39 in E flat major, composed in 1788. The piece was once revered as the "Swan Song" as an expression of admiration for Mozart and the work. The most distinctive feature of this work is the dance rhythm and melody that runs through it from beginning to end, showing the author's love for life and optimism.

3. Symphony No. 40 in G minor, composed in 1788. The whole symphony is full of enthusiasm and emotional music. This symphony can still be heard Baroque**.

traces, but still prompted the then absolute ** to take a step forward, when it was in Leipzig at the beginning of the XIX century.

When he played, he was commented on with words such as "shivering" and "slow". This work is again related to "The Troubles of Young Werther".

The scenario is similar. It can be said that it is a work that is approaching the romantic pre-school step by step.

4. Symphony No. 41 in C major, also known as Jupiter.

Symphonic Huaiyun Qing Song, composed in 1788. This work is the last of Mozart's three major symphonies, and it is one of the finest instrumental works of his many outstanding works. Haydn is no longer visible in this symphony.

Influenced by the influence of family economic factors (Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor, the family's income plummeted, but he remained cheerful), it is a representative work of Mozart to exert his compositional characteristics, showing Mozart's skillful compositional skills in his later years. It is also a good example of balanced contrast. Jupiter is a Roman myth.

The name of the highest creator god is very appropriate as an alias for this piece, but this is not the name set by Mozart himself, but added by later generations.
