Mozart - Symphony 40 in G minor (KV550) - Menuetto (3rd movement)

[Dooneywins]

moltra bene

[hipepleful]

Because it’s called “Menuetto”, does it mean that it goes great for minuets?

[SeanStephensen]

@hipepleful it's in minuet and trio form

[22NAIF]

يالله يالها من موسيقى رائعه ولها ذكرى جميلة تعيدنا الي الماضي

[brandonthimmesch]

I cannot for the life of me decide which I like better, the first or third movement... Both are terrific!

[6jpp6f]

I like this symphony played a little faster, but this seems a bit too fast.

[horsesrock1234567100]

this is tereble motzart it not the best wow this is fuckin shit

[Johannes999999999]

@horsesrock1234567100 It's just because you have no taste.

[horsesrock1234567100]

@Johannes999999999 the other way around if u like this u r shit listen to u make me feel it is actually good

[Johannes999999999]

@horsesrock1234567100 I have no idea what idea you are trying to convey. If English is not your first language than stay within your comfort level. If it's your first language than that just further reveals to me you lack the ability to absorb and appriciate music with any complexity and ingenuity.

[SeanStephensen]

@horsesrock1234567100 I gave your song a chance, and it's the same generic, boring, pop as every other song. This music is insanely complex, revolutionary, innovative. I could go on, but I suspect it's beyond your understanding. I respect your taste in music and I understand that you don't appreciate this, but don't criticize cultured music fans when you're listening to radio garbage. You're making a fool of yourself.

[SeanStephensen]

@horsesrock1234567100 however, if you are trolling, bravo, sir, you have been successful. Not just in getting a few people on here mad, but you made me listen to a Cobra Starshit song lol

[marksmanepsilon]

@horsesrock1234567100 just leave, kthxbai

[20132006]

@horsesrock1234567100 does it matter? mozart could pwn u any day of the week

Language is indeed a tool, however it is beautiful and an art when you carefully look at it. There is a definate loss of art when languages degrade and turn into simple phrases. Also there are languages that can be art, for example chinese characters are art in many forms for example while a certain character means something, the way the person wrote it can show anger happiness, or their own personal style.

@swaysie2

[ImBordCanYouTell]

[deathislifesway]

@jayboom11 i am fairly sure that Mozart was white. So can you clarify as to how he is a "nigga".

[jayboom11]

@deathislifesway allow me to retort on my asinine remark when i say nigga i mean the higher intellectual resounding notes produced which elevates my colt 45 beverage over as I refer to my hoe how M-eazzy(Mozart) has dem banging ass chords that makes the original man which is I rank him in a cypher of other banging ass beat concoctionist like premo, dre, lexluger and my negro the alchemist . As mentioned in a previous lecture mozart is indeed that nigga and this symphony is a large bow of purp.

[jayboom11]

this nigga was hot straight fire son -----this whole symp is a bow of fucking purp

[8catullus]

@jayboom11 You are not black ,and typing with a *ahem* '' dialect'' of black distinction doesnt make you any ''cooler''

[yakvarDaBOSS]

@8catullus Win!

[thestalker3]

[WPGS25041941]

A fine performance of great music - at the right speed.

[Patronascharm]

I love this piece. Symbolizing Love/happiness and torment/Anguish at the same time.

Wonderful

[IanTheCameraGuy]

G.D.A.E c(= i still rember from 6th grade orchestra ( G D A E are the basic notes/stirngs on a violin)

E.P.M.D - K.I.M  :D

[superiorbandgeek]

I'm going to disagree with those who say this movement is too fast. The menuet in symphonies are highly stylized and since we don't expect people to get up and dance the menuet during the performance, it is totally acceptable to play this at a faster tempo. My general rule of thumb as far as interpretation goes is this: earlier symphonies, I'd take the menuet slower, but past that I'd take it faster and towards the mature symphonies of the classical period, I'd push toward scherzo tempo.

[polymath7]

@superiorbandgeek

I.

While I find this tempo a somewhat refreshing change of pace, if considered in isolation I think it is too fast. If faced with the choice of taking just one recording onto a ship evacuating a doomed Earth , I would not wish it to be this one.

It's always seemed to me this movement conveys -and was intended to convey- a sense of ponderous momentum, as of someone or something lurching forward in a way that seems to momentarily throw it off balance, but then....

[polymath7]

II.

...quickly reestablishing its equilibrium with a grace that shows this was never really in doubt. For this I think there should be a sense of gravity and bulk.

More abstractly, I think there's very strong sense of antithesis, as of two very different onerous alternatives carefully weighed, or some difficult quandary nimbly resolved (note how at 0:59 the voices launch in two completely different directions and yet seem to cohere and converge).

It seems to me a slower tempo...



[polymath7]

III.

...lends itself to this effect much better.

Just my nine cents worth.

[GravityResist]

@polymath7

"never really in doubt"

what you hear is a rage

against the dying of the light:

three years on, and the man had

gone into "that good night"... (4 G00D)

there are few mayor minor key pieces of WAM

.

(RIP)

[RastaPapst]

K.I.M keep it movin

[locomotifx]

I like this but then i like this movement so much any half-decent rendition seems to give me shivers. Too fast for whom? A courtly/folk dance? Is that really all he wrote this for? The spirit is what matters to me. That said, it does seem uncommonly fashionable to race thru Mozart these days, as if so-called "informed performance" is trying to compensate for the ignorance of the past!

[Patel10314]

While I appreciate the posting I feel the temp is too fast for a minuet.

[belzondium]

this third movement has a strong touch of the Baroque in it.

[vanya2309]

@belzondium yes!

[polymath7]

@belzondium

Interesting you say that. This is to me is perhaps Mozart's most contrapuntally ingenious and fascinating work.

Oddly enough, it reminds me of a series of drawings Picasso executed for a monument to Guillame Appolinaire in 1928. There's the same sense of deft juggling in both (anyone who reads this and is curious, search the drawings on Google images and let me know if you agree).

[Patel10314]

It seems every time I want to hear the Maestro they play his music too quickly.

[hhhuuu14]

agree with logicape. i had to do a double take when i read that comment. but i believe everyone have their own preferences. anyway, enjoy this piece ^_^

[Dirkovic80]

who knows by which orchestra this is played i need that interpretation

[logicape]

Seems a little faster than I'm used to hearing, but of course as it's Mozart; it's amazing. I love his adaptation of the minuet form and little added codette.

[logicape]

Not talking about what 'allegro' is, just mentioned that it's faster than I'm used to hearing.

It's confusing 2 use '2' in place of to and too. Language is an art - let's not lose it.

[Dirkovic80]

english language is no art for me sry^

[TheMagicBolt]

@logicape Language is not an art, it is a tool used by art to bring a message.

[VTFreestyle224]

@logicape I don't know why, but when it comes to this piece (especially the first movement), people seem to forget the meaning of allegro. If Mozart says allegro molto, it's because he wants it to be lively and fast, yet I can't tell you how many recordings I've listened to where the tempo in the first movement is so dreadfully slow that it's almost hard to listen to. That may just be my taste, and I SUPPOSE everyone is entitled to their opinion. hahaha
