Symphonies nos. 38 "Prague" & 40
Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Philharmonia Cassovia & Johannes Wildner
Symphonies Nos. 38 ('Prague') and 40 are orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1786 and 1788 respectively. Both belong to his late Classical-period output: Symphony No. 38 is characterised by wide-ranging, ceremonial textures associated with his success in Prague, while Symphony No. 40 is in a minor key with leaner orchestration and restless motifs that anticipate a more intense late style in his symphonic writing.
