Are you experiencing anxiety or depression as the due dates for your projects, personal goals, and final exams are getting closer 😅? Well, guess who else gets you? Mozart!! Mozart was losing his popularity thus having trouble keeping up with his financial habits, and his wife’s health was declining at the time as well. And you can totally feel his stress and anxiety in this piece. This symphony is one of his most popular works, despite the fact that it’s one of the ONLY 2 symphonies he composed in the minor key. We can take a sneak peak of how “romantic” Mozart could have become if he had lived longer when we listen to this symphony. The delay of tonal establishment, harmonic complexity, personal and emotional involvement of composer in the music, melodic quality, the drama- all the characteristics of romantic era are strongly present in this piece. Listen to this beautiful piece, be comforted by Mozart’s soul, and get ready to end this year strong, everyone! 💪🎶😉
