Symphony concept

The Symphony** is an overture to Italian opera at the end of the 17th century, "Cimferia" (meaning to speak in harmony together). Around 1700, the typical Italian Ciffonia was a single-movement instrumental piece divided into three parts: fast, slow, and fast.

Soon, the Italian artists separated Cinnia from the opera house and expanded it into three separate movements. In the 40s of the 18th century, composers from the north of the Alps inserted a minuet movement for Cinverniado.

In this way, the symphony emerged as a major instrumental genre, in a four-movement form: fast-slow-minuet-fast.

The symphony began to be loved by the public, and Duan Kuchai was linked to the progressive social changes that swept across Europe during the Enlightenment, including the emergence of the public meeting.

In places such as London, Paris and Vienna, the centre of life gradually shifted from the court of the nobility to the newly built or renovated public halls.

Among these halls are the Hannover Square Hotel in London, where Haydn's London Symphony premiered; There is also the Castle Theater in Vienna, where many of Mozart's symphonies and concertos are heard for the first time.

Almost all of Haydn's last 20 symphonies were composed for public performances in Paris and London. Mozart also did not write symphonies for court patrons in the last decade of his life. His famous Symphony in G minor (1788) apparently premiered in a casino in Vienna – where people and money gathered.
