Symphonies Nos. 40 & 41 莫扎特

在几周的时间里，莫扎特写下了他最后的三部交响曲，其中《G小调交响曲》（K. 550）是倒数第二部。第一部降E调交响曲于6月26日完成，其中双簧管换成了单簧管，第二部G小调交响曲于7月25日完成，第三部即所谓的《木星交响曲》于两周后完成。G 小调交响曲》最初没有使用单簧管，在后来的修改中加入了这些乐器。与其他交响曲不同的是，它没有使用小号和鼓。据推测，这三部交响曲是为下一音乐季在维也纳举行的音乐会准备的。事实上，莫扎特已不再举办自己的音乐会，正如他早年在维也纳所做的那样。1791 年 3 月，他的最后一首钢琴协奏曲 K.595，在单簧管演奏家约瑟夫-巴尔（Joseph Bahr）安排的节目单中演出。G 小调交响曲》可能是同年 4 月由宫廷指挥萨列里指挥的音乐会的曲目之一，当时乐团有 180 名演奏家"

原文简介:
It was during the space of a few weeks that Mozart wrote down his last three symphonies, of which the Symphony in G minor, K. 550, is the penultimate. The first of the group, the Symphony in E-flat, in which oboes are replaced by clarinets, was finished on 26th June, the second, in G minor, on 25th July and the third, the so-called Jupiter Symphony, two weeks later. The G minor Symphony, originally written without clarinets, had these instruments added in a later revision. Unlike its companions, it makes no use of trumpets and drums. Presumably the three symphonies were intended to form pan of concerts to be given in Vienna in the coming season. In fact, Mozart was to give no more concerts of his own music, as he had done in earlier years in Vienna. His last Piano Concerto, K. 595, was performed as pan of a programme arranged by the clarinetist Joseph Bahr in March, 1791. The G minor Symphony probably formed pan of a concert conducted by Salieri, the court Kapellmeister, with an orchestra of 180 players in April of the same year.
