Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, arranged for Wind Quintet by Joachim Linckelmann. Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, is one of his most passionate and emotionally intense works, composed in 1788. It opens with a restless, driving theme that sets a tone of urgency and turbulence, rare in Mozart’s symphonic writing. The symphony is notable for its expressive depth, elegant structure, and dramatic contrasts between light and shadow. Its minor key, lyrical melancholy, and refined orchestration make it a cornerstone of the Classical symphonic repertoire. Score and Parts included.
