Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550

• Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

Sometimes referred to as the “Great G minor symphony” to distinguish it from the the “Little G minor symphony” (No. 25), SYMPHONY NO. 40 in G minor, K. 550 was completed on July 25, 1788, though the actual date of premiere is less certain. Regardless of when the premiere took place, Mozart did determine that revisions were necessary, adding two clarinets to the orchestra where there had been none previously, with changes made to the oboe parts to accommodate the new instrumentation. This edition includes both the original oboe parts and the revised oboe parts in addition to the clarinet parts that only exist in the revision. The score also includes a system for the original oboe parts and two additional systems for the revised oboe parts and clarinets. Orchestras have the flexibility to perform this work in either versions. Instrumentation in set: 1.2.2.2: 2.0.0.0: Str (4.4.3.3.3).
