Mozart Symphony No. 40: I: Molto allegro - (Columbia University Orchestra) Link to Download: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cuo/audio.... From Wikipedia: "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his Symphony No. 40 in G minor, KV. 550, in 1788. It is sometimes referred to as the "Great G minor symphony," to distinguish it from the "Little G minor symphony," No. 25. The two are the only extant minor key symphonies Mozart wrote." "The symphony is scored (in its revised version) for flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings. Notably missing are trumpets and timpani. The work is in four movements, in the usual arrangement for a classical-style symphony (fast movement, slow movement, minuet, fast movement): Molto allegro, 2/2 Andante in E-flat major, 6/8 Menuetto. Allegretto – Trio, 3/4 Finale. Allegro assai, 2/2 Every movement but the third is in sonata form; the minuet and trio are in the usual ternary form."
