Mozart - Symphony No. 25 in G Minor Mov. 3&4/4

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791)

Symphony for orchestra in G minor K183

3. Menuetto - Trio

4. Allegro

Performed by The English Concert
Directed by Trevor Pinnock

*This symphony was Mozart's first minor key symphony apart from the overture to "Betulia liberata". It is dated 5 October 1773. With its wide-leap melodic lines and brisk musical subjects, this symphony is characteristic of the "Sturm und Drang" style. By contrast, Mozart's only other minor key symphony, number 40 (also in G minor), is not typically viewed as part of this movement.

This piece is widely known as the opening music in Miloš Forman's film "Amadeus".

I think it's "Dutch Fishing Boats Caught in a Gale," by J.M. William Turner?

[HARMONICO101]

@bigjakenstuff it's "Dutch Vessels at Sea in Stormy Weather" by Pieter Mulier the Elder (c. 1610 - 1670)

@dobba92 It's called 'I'm bloody glad I'm not in any of those boat.' by van Cough

fantabulous

@m2esectr I personally believe that omitting repeats (especially in music such as this) detracts from music's structure and artistry.

wonderful performance!

[Olegstuff21986]

@Olegstuff21986 sorry, I meant quartet, not quintet

[Olegstuff21986]

The III movement somewhat reminds me of the Hexenminuett in Haydn's 'Fifths' Quintet, although it's not clear which piece came earlier. Oh, it doesn't matter, they're both geniuses!
