Mozart's "Prague" was one of the first few classical albums I bought for myself when I was 16 years old, in the late 1980s... besides its beauty, the symphony still reminds me to this day of the strength and hope in being young

This symphony is unique in Mozart's ceration, not only because it is in three movements. It is full of power, quite differently from the so-called 'Jupiter'.

For some reason, the first movement always reminds me of friendship. I was listening to it while I made up with a friend whom I was very close with at the time. That's why I continue to call this piece the "Friendship Symphony"

When I listen from 16:41 to 17:54 and again from 21:09 to 22:54. I can't help but think that the humble composer, who knew he could write music well, surprised even himself at how angelic the notes he wrote down actually sound....

My favorite Mozart symphony. At 3:30 one can hear the theme of Magic Flute's overture. It's a pity that no picture of Prague among the illustrations. A picture of Tyl Theatre, where Don Giovanni was premiered later in the same year, would match better than the Gloriette in Schönbrunn.

@kajcenkars

Don Giovanni was premiered at the Estates Theatre, not the Tyl Theatre:)

@karla roh It is the very same building. Between 1948 and 90 the Stavovske divadlo was named after Josef Kajetan Tyl.

The final movement is just something else, very Beethoven - like at parts and Mozart-like at other ones. I think if there is a symphony to better illustrate that Mozart was not scrictly a Classical period composer, but rather a transitional one between Classical and Romantic periods it's this one.

I had the pleasure of listening to this masterpiece in Philips recording using period instruments. While i was living in Las Vegas. It was written at the height of Wolfgangs expertise and virtuosity ( 1787) by the way the year his father died. The variations of the main theme and the counterpoint stand out; specially when the music "says" the name of the city "Prague" truly complete and absolute genius. Compare to all other composers and you will understand with tears in your eyes there is nothing like it and there never will be. You hear this music and all you can say is "Mozart,Mozart,Mozart"

Praha (Prague) has become about the finest city in Europe for filmmakers to shoot movies set in the 17-1900's. Compared to Wien or Koln, Praha suffered almost no bombardment or bombing during either World War. Go there for the history if you are in Europe, you will not be dissapointed.

This symphony is indeed the most powerful of Mozart after the "Jupiter". But the tension in the slow movement is greater in this symphony. Needless to say, this does not mean that the slow movement of 'Jupiter' is not awfully beautiful.

@thesir27

I finally "get" why this symphony has three movements instead of four: the slow movement IS the minuet!

Beethoven added movements to express more, Mozart just consolidated them, which is so much more profound.

@petervamos5522

8y↑3

+thesir27 Some of Haydn's early symphonies have three movements as well. It was not so unusal, however, at Haydn the minuet is always the last one among the three.

@thesir27

8y↑4

Oh, I'm not even saying it's unusual for a symphony to have 3 mvts, seeing as that WAS the standard for early symphonies. Mozart's included. But by the time of the 38th, it's a clear creative throwback

@VV_PaVria

8y↑2

+thesir27 What? In his symphonies, Beethoven took up an extra movement only once: in his Pastoral Sixth Symphony.

@thesir27

I more meant in general, like adding a 4th movement to piano trios & sonatas.

@tjhooker824

8y↑2

The amount of musical growth in the classical era is so astounding. It was almost a mere transition between baroque and romantic just because it was shorter and it's composers were so advanced at writing. Each one of the major four passing along ideas to the next to develop. Haydn perfected it from the Rococo, Mozart grew it, Beethoven evolved it, and Schubert transitioned it.

I read some comments below in which some people sais that Beethoven was worse at composing than Mozart. We'll in my opinion ( I study music in a professional school and I play violin) this is wrong and that's because they were from different ages: Mozart was from the classicism and Beethoven from the romanticism so they have clearly very different ways of composing. You can like one better but you cannot say that one is better, they are just different

@nannojonkers3817

10y↑11

My dear Ana. Anyone with good ears for music realizes that both Mozart and Beethoven were giants, each in their own way. And, sorry, Beethoven was not a fullblown romantic composer. You want one ? Robert Schumann, the Romantic poet among composers. Success with your fine study ! Do you know Schumann's violin concerto ? A nearly neglected wonderful piece. For you to play. Renditions in youtube.

Beethoven is farr from melancholy. He's about struggle and fight against forces of nature and oneself, but always comes on top victorious. Nothing he wrote is truly 'sad', it always cheers me up, because he connects with me in his struggles, but always shows you the way out to victory!

@mr.klunee4103

+Tenor Sax B. Yes I know how pitches are related to frequencies. I studied that a while ago. Around A=440hz (A above middle C), which is what most ensembles tune to, a semitone increase (in this case d major to e-flat major) would be around 50hz. What I meant in my previous comment is that in most cases a 3hz increase would be very difficult to notice.

When I eat strawberry all the time I lose the taste and benefit of other fruits. Wagner wrote on Beethoven’s music:
“Surveying the historical advance which the art of Music made through Beethoven, we may define it as the winning of a faculty withheld from her before: in virtue of that acquisition she mounted far beyond the region of the aesthetically Beautiful, into the sphere of the Sublime.”

The Sublime Beethoven what Beethoven and Kant had in common is an essential article that helps understand Beethoven’s music.

E. T. A. Hoffmann wrote: Beethoven’s music "induces terror, fright, horror and pain." It "awakens that endless longing which is the essence of romanticism," "opens the realm of the colossal and immeasurable," and "leads the listener away into the wonderful spiritual realm of the infinite."

Beethoven’s music is remarkable: in its extreme length, insistent dissonances, and willfully angular juxtapositions; with its obsessive repetitions and overwhelming fortissimos, the music moves us in ways that the more genteel music of Mozart and Haydn does not. And though we have, to some extent, become accustomed to many features of Beethoven’s style, the music can still make us catch our breath. Beethoven is to Haydn as the roller coaster is to the Ferris wheel: his music shocks as well as pleases, and pleases, in part, because it shocks.

Holland, or the Netherlands (not: neatherlands; we are no neanderthalers anymore), is not stupid. It only is: an open institution, something like an open asylum for madmen.
