Symphony No. 41

This lively, fugue-like movement from Mozart’s last symphony is classical music at its best. All sections enjoy both lyrical and technical passages through Mozart’s masterful development of the four-note theme. First violins shift to fifth position while both violin sections experience second position. Cello and bass sections will enjoy the many technical passages that require shifting through fourth position. The energy and drive of this piece makes it a great closer for any concert. (3:15)
