- 2Little G minor symphonywritten in Salzburg 1773; Mozart's first symphony in a minor key; shows Mozart writing in Sturm and Drang; Mozart's use of instruments is also important to this piece
pg 448 - 3Symphony No 40 in G Minor"Great" G minor symphony; one of three symphonies he wrote in the span of six weeks during summer of 1788; intended for public performances at subscription concerts; one of most performed of all symphonies; brooding work, tragedy, desperation
- 4Prague symphonywritten for the city of Prague; one of Mozart's finest symphonic creations; dense texture; high demand from woodwinds; a lot of chromaticism used throughout this piece
- 5Jupiter SymphonySymphony No 41 in C Major; festive sounds of large orchestra and major key; Jupiter name given by Johann Salomon bc the use of trumpets and timpani and stately dotted rhythms which made it seem noble and godly to listeners; the finale is the most famous of the movements; greatest tour de force in all music; standard sonata form
- 6Haydn Quartetssix quartets; refers to Haydn as a dear friend in his dedication; written after he went to Vienna and studied Haydn's quartets; many number of revisions (rare for Mozart so it showed he cared for Haydn's acceptance of the pieces) did this to digest Haydn's method of thematic integration
- 7Dissonance Quartettitle from the Adagio introduction with many harmonic audacities; harmony slides down chromatically by half-steps; makes C major first theme of the exposition sound more shocking
- 8Turkish musicMozart imitated Turkish music a lot in his music; he used the noise of Turkish military bands featuring blaring double-reed instruments and jangling percussion; some people went as far to equip their pianos with special devices to make Turkish music sounds
- 9concerto-sonata forma form, originating in the concerto of the Classical period, in which first the orchestra and then the soloist present the primary thematic material; much like sonata form but with two expositions
