@@renep9968 The ‘Paris’ symphony is not Mozart’s ‘…most famous symphony’ but it is one of the most spectacular-sounding ones; it is also one of the most popular eight (possibly ten), and most-played along with 25, (28, 29), 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, and 41. Musically, the content is relatively simple compared to the last six, but it is a very effective symphony.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 Yes I a made a mistake. I refferrred to symphony 41, the Jupiter. Since this video is nr 31, I must have been multitasking or so when I wrote this. I agree with your comment and will remove mine.
@@renep9968 The ‘Jupiter’ is pretty much a one-off, and you’re right it’s very famous; Haydn clearly continued to add contrapuntal elements to his later symphonies such as 95 and 101, 103, but never on the scale attempted by Mozart. It should be noted however that contemporary criticism in the influential Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung - the music journal of the Leipzig publisher Breitkopf & Hartel - criticised the Finale of Mozart 41 specifically in comparison to that of Haydn 95 complaining that it ‘…had gone too far’. I’ll leave my original reply as it’s a useful corrective to some of the slightly over-enthusiastic comments sometimes made about Mozart 31 which is in some respects, arguably his most over-rated symphony.
If you read the book "Mozart's Letters, Mozart's Life" you'll find that he titled it Paris but it was written for and sent to Aloysia Weber, the first girl he fell in love with (Constanze's eldest sister).
@@maggiep6882 No Maggie it was a symphony for Paris, it was composed for Parisians, Mozart wanted to composed an opera but before he musted composed a symphony to become famous so there it is. Mozart wrote few arias for Aloysia in Paris but it was not that symphony

@@williambishopgarfield342 if Bach and Mozart are in some list ,Mahler would never belong to such a list , that's bringing a knife to a gun fight... try Beethoven, Haydn, Händel or Vivaldi .
Karl Joseph Toeschi - Sinfonia in D-major 1773. is the "base" for Mozart's Paris Symphony(W. A. Mozart, Sinfonia n. 31 in Re maggiore KV 297). Mozart took musical ideas from many (Hermann Friedrich Raupach, Johann Gottfried Eckard, Johann Schobert, Leontzi Honauer .... without these ideas there is no Mozart - the stars of Paris (Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Gluck, Gretry, Gosek, Sakini), the stars of London (Johann Bach, Thomas Arne, Thomas Linley), Mannheim (Stamic, Anton Fils), Dresden Schuster), Stockholm (Swedish Mozart- Joseph Martin Kraus), Prague (Misliveček, Mattress), Vienna (Dittersdorf, Salieri, Leopold Kozeluch, Paul Wranicki, Vanhal, Michael Haydn, Josef Haydn, ...) Italian (Samartini, Leo, Traetta, Paisiello, Anfossi, Gacaniga, Pichini, Andrea Luchesi ...)
Mozart arrived in Paris in 1778 direct from Mannheim and clearly had the sound of that fantastic orchestra ringing in his ears when he wrote the ‘Paris’ symphony (K297). Whilst your eclectic list of ‘influences’ covers a huge number of composers and styles, Mozart’s assimilation of some of these, to different degrees is clear, and the relatively new five year old Toeschi symphony could well have been heard by Mozart in Mannheim. I am a little surprised you have not included Cannabich - the orchestra’s director - on your interesting list; Mozart knew him well, stayed with the family, and wrote a sonata for his daughter Rosa - Sonata in C (K309). Mozart was hugely impressed with everything at Mannheim as you are well aware, the orchestra, the conductor, the sound, Holzbauer, et cetera; I always include ‘Mannheim’ as an important stimulus to Mozart’s wider development, as much as many individual composers. Whenever listening to the ‘Paris symphony, I do think of Cannabich’s Symphony 63, also in D major; perhaps you might add it to the Toeschi symphony as an influence.
Can someone here tell me why there are not repeats at the end of the exposition and no repeats at the end of the recapitulation? It doesn't make sense! Mozart always did this with his symphonies.
Mozart certainly wrote better symphonies, but the first movement of this symphony is something quite unique. Its a pure display of energy, almost unbearable sometimes. Even the first movement of 41 can't quite duplicate this raw ammount of affirmative expression.
Haydn's early symphonies are quite close to the baroque style, complete with harpsichord etc. while his later music starts to sound almost like a foreshadowing of Beethoven. In fact, I think Haydn likes a much richer sound than Mozart, who is all for simple and properly genius-like melodies and possibly a lighter but very colorful orchestra texture. Mozart from the beginning was quite into classical style, while Haydn started with the baroque style. But the difference is hard to tell, since they both write in the same time period ! Besides, the two were friends. Let's say though that you really feel the genius in Mozart, which is not always the case with Haydn. Hope that kinda answered…
Similar to other comments, if there's a medley of tunes, I'd assume Moz. If there's more of a tendency towards development of a smaller pool of material, I'd assume Haydn. :)
i think he didn't really care. the music is extreme the main bass line which ppl gravitate towards is pretty extreme, he allows twofold repetitions, but its mostly fluff in between. like 2:50 its cross talk, but 2:56-7 its pretty much symbolism, natural downward scale.... yay
Music composition is a dead art. Unfortunate that as society progressed since the 17th &18th century, music has regressed. In that vein, so has visual art. Wonder why?
Leo Knightus It’s because humanity tried to progress in the future as making music differently & not keeping it the same forever. But however, that mistake makes a change for the worst, only because true art cannot be recreated at will. It remains as one & only forever & it will forever be. Watch after 200 hundred years from now, modern artists will become extinct of fame, but Mozart will continue to be remember after another 200 years or so. Because he was the one & only true art as was other famous composers of true art back then. Mozart was just the highest one of his time that’s the difference. A Genius perhaps.
It is the same with every art. Modern "art" is garbage. When thrillers and horror takes the place of Tolstoy, the rest is not any better. Really modern classical music (post Shostakovich say) is unlistenable and will always be so because it is just garbage!

This music is like inhaling an enormous breath of cool and crisp air in the morning. Invigorating and refreshing.
I have to be grateful today for the angels that said to me "Go and listen to Paris symphony" 😍
This symphony, like all the others written by Herr Mozart, is a great, beautiful masterpiece. The epitome of perfection!
That 3rd movement just stole my soul and turned it back to the opposite side from where it came out
Movement Timestamps --
Allegro Assai, Movement I: 0:00 -
8:33
Andante, Movement II: 8:34 - 15:10
Allegro, Movement III: 15:11 - 19:01
Good luck, orchestra amigos. :-)
This is probably my favorite of Mozart's symphonies along with 35, 36 and 40. Just a great piece of music!
Mozart makes fun of French music simplicity here. And as a French man I thank him for that because it gave to us such a masterpiece!
This is so beautiful Mozart's hidden gem !!
