Symphonies nos. 40 & 41
Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Les Musiciens du Louvre & Marc Minkowski
Symphonies Nos. 40 and 41 are two symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1788. They mark the final phase of his symphonic output and exemplify Classical-era orchestral writing through concentrated thematic development, heightened dramatic contrasts and adventurous harmonic language, with the later work concluding in an extended contrapuntal finale.
