Mozart’s Symphony #40

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 Fast movement, always in sonata form Slow movement Minuet & Trio, 3/4 meter 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 C I V IV

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 Development Recapitulation 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.
