Mozart


            The Hunter College Symphony concert on November,20.
             performed a beautiful piece by Mozart, Symphony No.
             550, which is an instrumental piece of Classical.
             period. This four movement piece was performed mostly by.
             woodwinds and stringed instruments. The alterations between.
             instruments made an interesting musical dialogue which was a.
             common feature during the classical period. A symphony of a.
             Classical period usually lasts between 20 and 45 minutes and.
             Symphony No.40 lasted approximately for 25 minutes. .
             The fourth movement really grabbed my attention.
             probably because it was so close to the end and it started.
             off fast and very tense. Here Mozart used a wide range of.
             dynamics, probably to emphasize a dramatic mood. The forth.
             movement starts with very loud dynamics that sets a happy.
             and lively mood with the pressure of inspiration that sort.
             of awakened me, then it gets softer and builds up tension.
             which gets resolved by louder dynamics. .
             In first part of the forth movement was mostly.
             homophonic and latter it became polyphonic texture some.
             where a lighter texture then in the opening movement. It.
             became hard for me to concentrate on the melody, because it.
             is hard for me to hear two or more melodies at the same.
             time.
             Classical period was during mid 18th and early 19th century.
             and the Symphony No. 40 was written during late 18th.
             century. This piece fits the context of its type and style.
             period by having a sudden change in dynamics which helps to.
             make a melody conversational. This piece also has a form of.
             four movements where the final movement was played in sonata.
             form, which is a common finale for a classical symphony.
