He clearly follows the patterns of Mozart and, partly, Haydn. But ,for example in the first movement, we feel the strong influence of K.P.E.Bach that he knew in Hamburg. The symphony is finely shaped but the development is quite boring; it sounds somewhat like a sturm und drung composition written 20 years before 1795
You may be a bit harsh - I love the development section fx. at 04:45 ... I dig your comment in some ways, yes of course we hear some Mozart, and partly some Haydn at work here (what else would you expect? Schumann?) but even more to the point is perhaps the musician-kinship with C.P.E. Bach and as you say, Hamburg/Altona being his hometown until the age of 15 would suggest that he knew C.P.E. -- And CPE's symphonies are quite something in my ear. Likewise it may be interesting to know that Beethoven at one time asked his publisher to send everything he had by C.P.E. who therefore, we can assume, stood in high regard with Beethoven. But those speculations are in fact only half important, - the ability to shape music with a dynamic development is exciting to me, at least. The Menuet and Trio are not "dull". Interesting sequence, that the "Scherzo"-Menuetto comes before the Andante.
Fantástica sinfonía.
Gracias por compartir a un gran compositor
Majestic , indeed😇
Magnifique, merci
Same menuetto in this symphony as in his 5th? Always loved that menuetto
