Mozart - Symphony No. 29 in A, K. 201 [complete]

The Symphony No. 29 in A major, K. 201/186a, was completed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on 6 April 1774. It is, along with Symphony No. 25, one of his better known early symphonies. Stanley Sadie characterizes it as "a landmark ... personal in tone, indeed perhaps more individual in its combination of an intimate, chamber music style with a still fiery and impulsive manner." The symphony is scored for 2 oboes, 2 horns and strings, as was typical of early-period Mozart symphonies.
There are four movements:
1. Allegro moderato, 2/2
2. Andante, 2/4
3. Menuetto: Allegretto -- Trio, 3/4
4. Allegro con spirito, 6/8
The first movement is in sonata form, with a graceful principal theme characterized by an octave drop and ambitious horn passages. The second movement is scored for muted strings with limited use of the winds, and is also in sonata form. The third movement, a minuet, is characterized by nervous dotted rhythms and staccato phrases; the trio provides a more graceful contrast. The energetic last movement, another sonata-form movement in 6/8 time, connects back to the first movement with its octave drop in the main theme.

"Astounded. It was beyond belief. These were first and only drafts of music. But they showed no corrections of any kind, not one. He had simply written down music already finished-in his head! Page after page of it, as if he were just taking dictation! And music, finished as no music has ever been finished. Displace one not and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase and the structure would fall. It was clear to me, that the sound I'd heard in the archbishop's palace had been no accident. Here again was the very voice of God. I was staring between the cage of those meticulous ink strokes, at an absolute beauty."

[@authenticmusic4815]

@Liam Nicholson Ok, gotta agree with you there:)

[@Madman2759]

The reason they're playing in Bb major is because pitch went up a half-tone from Mozart's time to our own. That's why, for example, his clarinet concerto is in A, when the clarinet is a Bb instrument (though that piece was for basset clarinet, not regular clarinet, but that's another matter altogether).

[@JamesCurgenven2]

They raised the pitch of the clarinet concerto too! I should know as a clarinet player :D

[@twinicebear775]

That’s wrong... Pitch in Mozart’s time was lower, around 423. So, if this were a period performance, it would almost sound like G sharp major. The reason this sounds so high is just the recording or the orchestra tuning to B flat for some reaosn

[@leslietownsend9168]

It sounds like the Vienna Philharmonic (443) to me with audio compression in transfer from an old LP record raising the pitch even higher. I could be wrong about both of course, but I have some experience in these fields, so I believe its very likely.

Exceedingly Mozartian is the Symphony in A; what proves it is a fact: that its ethos is imperceptible ... we see no interest whatsoever in searching in this composition for the predominance of this or that feeling; it presents a much more precious quality, that of being pierced, from the first to the last note, by an incomparable musical poetry. It manifests a state of creative juvenility that we will not see again in any of his later symphonies ... we will not hesitate to call it the most beautiful of all the symphonies of the Maestro. ~Jean-Victor Hocquard, *Mozart, l'amour, la mort*.

Actually in sheet music the composer leaves guidelines for the conductor to follow when creating the arrangement in his or her orchestra. In this case the tempo is Allegro moderato in Common Time which may have the BPM between 120 - 140 which very fast. In other words the conductor can make slight changes but not very much if they wish to stay true to the original piece of music...
