Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Franz Schubert & Arturo Toscanini
Symphony No. 40 and Symphony No. 8 are orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1788 and 1768 respectively. Symphony No. 40 exemplifies Mozart's mature Classical style with its use of a minor key, concise motivic development and heightened emotional contrast, while Symphony No. 8 reflects his early galant-period approach with lighter orchestration and clearer periodic phrasing, illustrating the development of his symphonic language across his career.
