Classical Hour: Andrew Manze conducts Mozart
Andrew Manze conducts Mozart's second to last symphony, No. 40, which the composer wrote during some busy summer weeks in 1788.
Symphony No. 40 opens with one of Mozart's most famous melodies. Perhaps the introduction's nervous, almost angsty mood expresses his state of mind this summer. He did not suffer only financial difficulties - he lost his youngest daughter, Theresia, at the end of June. There was also a tendency in contemporary literature and music to allow darker and more conflicted emotions to come to the surface - a movement often called Sturm und Drang - "storm and longing."
