Symphony No. 40, Movement IV

Often referred to as the “Great G Minor Symphony” (it’s one of just two Mozart symphonies written in a minor key), the 4th movement features a brisk tempo in cut time. The developmental section includes a remarkable modulating passage using all but one tone of the chromatic scale. Duration 6:30.

Instrumentation: Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Horn in F, and Bassoon (opt. Bb Bass Clarinet)
