Chiderah Onyeukwu Professor Rhea Jacobus MUSIC 210 25 April 2013 Clemson Symphony Orchestra Concert Paper The first piece I chose to write about is Symphony No. 38 (“Prague”) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Clemson Orchestra did a wonderful job of doing this piece; I really enjoyed it. Because it was the first piece played‚ my ears were perked and I was listening very intently.

There are many similarities between Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C Minor and Mozart’s Symphony no. 40 in G Minor. For example‚ both works have extremely recognizable motives.

The symphony orchestra‚ Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev is a story based concert with a variety of instruments. Sergei Prokofiev constructed this orchestra to help teach young children about what certain instruments sound like together and by themselves.

Symphony No.5/Eine kleine Nachtmusik Two names that were prevalent during the Classical era of music were Ludwig van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. These two composers have written many pieces of music‚ but two that stand out are Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5” and Mozart’s “Eine kleine Nachtmusik”.
