I. Work Analysis Being an admirer of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart‚ I chose to analyze Mozart ’s Symphony No. 40 in G Minor. An early analyst and critic of Mozart ’s music‚ Otto Jahn called the Symphony No. 40 "a symphony of pain and lamentation." Another critic said it was "nothing but joy and animation" (Kramer 480). While these two remarks may be used as extreme ways to interpret the symphony‚ its character and mood are captivating and touching. The standard instrumentation for this piece

concert program of Wolfgang Mozart’s Symphony No. 25 in G minor. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an exceptionally talented and influential music composer during the Classical Era. Mozart was so talented at composing music that he began performing pieces in front of European aristocracy at just age 5! He also composed his first symphony at the age of 9.

My listening selection that I chose from the classical era was ¬¬¬Mozart’s Symphony #40 in G Minor K 550. This piece was composed in 1788. The tempo of this piece is molto allegro and the rhythms are fairly simple. Syncopation is used in this piece as well with homophonic texture. The piece is mainly quite with development to a louder section in the middle‚ but ends softly. The exposition of the piece demonstrates the quietness that is seen‚ but contains a small louder section. The recapitulation

Erin R Eddins Mozart Symphonies 39‚ 40‚ 41 Performed by The Berlin Philharmonic‚ conducted by Sir Simon Rattle My first impressions of the conductor held fairly true throughout the performance.

He stands in front of his orchestra‚ sans instrument himself‚ without even a podium or stand‚ and conducts using gestures‚ hand movements

The reason I chose Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 (1st movement) is because it really stood out to me out of all the pieces we heard in class and that are on the Moodle Website. I enjoy listening to this piece because it gives off a fun and warm vibe at times sounding playful and fast but then it takes on a warmer and somewhat soothing ambiance at other times. Honestly‚ when I listen to this song I have to turn the volume down because the pitch of the violins is so powerful and high. I believe this is

Mozart’s K 333 Sonata in B-flat Major was composed in November 1783. It was written in Vienna while Mozart was there for a period. He wrote this in his "early phase" while he was in Vienna. This sonata was not really written into a group of sonatas‚ but could be grouped with the other nine sonatas that were written in this early phase in Vienna. All of these ten sonatas were written and published between 1783 and 1785 in Vienna. However‚ these sonatas were not written as a group (Kirby 101). My
