Instruments of the Symphony Orchestra

Background Mozart wrote his Symphony #40 in 1788 in Vienna. It has been nick-named the “Great G-Minor Symphony.” (The “Little G-Minor Symphony” is #25). Those are the only two symphonies Mozart wrote in minor. Mozart wrote his last three symphonies (39, 40, 41) in a period of 10 weeks. Some have suggested that the first movement expresses Mozart’s frustration with his financial situation or the unpopular war with Turkey.

Symphony Forms Symphonies have 4 Movements 1.Fast movement, always in sonata form 2.Slow movement 3.Minuet & Trio, 3/4 meter 4.Fast movement, sonata or rondo form Rondo Form: A main theme switches off with 2 or 3 different themes. (Abacadabra) Theme A Theme B Theme A Theme C Theme A Theme B Theme A IVIIVIVI

Symphony Forms (Review) Theme & Variation: The same theme is played over and over, each time changed in some way. Minuet & Trio: A small ABA form within a large ABA form.

Sonata Form (Essay) Exposition Theme #1 In I (or i) key Bridge Changes to new key Theme #2 In V (III) key Cadence Strong ending in new key Development Theme #1 and Theme #2 are worked over by being broken apart and moved to several new keys. Bridge Changes back to first key I (i) Recapitulation A repeat of the Exposition (Theme #1, Bridge, Theme #2, and Cadence) but all in the original key this time (i) Sometimes an Introduction comes before the Exposition, or a Coda comes after the Recapitulation.

Symphony #40, Mvt 1 Listening Raise your right hand when you hear Theme #1 Raise your left hand when you hear Theme #2 Sing along if you wish!
