Description
Composed during the summer of 1788 and performed during his last tour of Germany during the winter of 1789, Mozart’s last three symphonies are undoubtedly one of the fundamental contributions of classicism to the orchestral repertoire. Tragic and bright at the same time, the Symphony in G minor was a model of classical pathos and rigour for the entire romantic generation, a benchmark that we can trace back to the symphonies of Mendelssohn, Schubert and Schumann.
