Description:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, is one of the most poignant and celebrated masterpieces of the Classical era. This Urtext full score published by Bärenreiter presents the fascinating first version of the work—composed in the summer of 1788 in its original scoring without clarinets. Featuring a lean orchestration of flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings, the symphony reveals an incomparable, transparent clarity and gripping dramatic urgency. Based on the authoritative New Mozart Edition (NMA), this volume ensures the highest level of scholarly accuracy and outstanding readability. An indispensable resource for conductors, musicologists, and passionate score readers eager to explore Mozart’s brilliant orchestration in its purest, original form.
