I see myself standing upon your shoulders touching a grey, broken sky— but you, weighted down with me, yet gripping my ankles,—move laboriously on, where it is level and undisturbed by colors.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Wolfgang Mozart Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Wolfgang Mozart Born January 27, 1756, Salzburg, Austria. Died December 5, 1791, Vienna, Austria. Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550 Mozart entered this symphony in his catalog on July 25, 1788. The date of the first performance is not known. At these concerts, Trevor Pinnock conducts Mozart’s revision of the score, adding a pair of clarinets to the original version, which calls for one flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings. Performance time is approximately twenty-six minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Mozart’s Fortieth Symphony were given at the Auditorium Theatre on November 18 and 19, 1892, with Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given at Orchestra Hall on February 2, 4, and 5, 1995, with Zubin Mehta conducting. The Orchestra first performed this symphony at the Ravinia Festival on July 8, 1938, with Artur Rodzinksi conducting, and most recently on June 29, 2000, with Pinchas Zukerman conducting. Ironically, it is Mozart’s last three symphonies rather than the famous requiem that remain the mystery of his final years. Almost as soon as Mozart died, romantic myth attached itself to the unfinished pages of the requiem left scattered on his bed; a host of questions—who commissioned the work?; who finished it?; was Mozart poisoned?—inspired painters, novelists, biographers, librettists, playwrights, and screenwriters to heights of imaginative re-creation. We now know those answers: the requiem is unfinished, but not unexplained. The final symphonies, on the other hand—no.
