I used to listen to this with my mum in the last couple of years of her life. She had previously decided that she didn't like Mozart until I played the Paris symphony to her. Then she used to ask me to play it so we could listen together. It still connects us.
“I had to compose a symphony for the Concert Spirituel…I was exceedingly anxious at rehearsal, for never in my life have I heard a worse performance. You can have no conception of how they bungled and scrambled through it the first time and the second. Really, I was quite frightened and would have liked to rehearse it once more, but there was so much else to rehearse that there was no time left. Accordingly, I went to bed, fear in my heart, discontent and anger in my mind. I had decided not to go to the concert at all next day; but it was a fine evening, and I finally resolved to go…I prayed God it might go well, dedicating all to His greater honor and glory, and…the symphony began! […] The audience was quite carried away; there was a great outburst of applause…I was so happy that I went straight to the Palais Royale after the symphony…said the Rosary I had vowed, and went home…” -Wolfgang Amadè Mozart, letter to his father Leopold about the “Paris Symphony”
Lord Marleor I am just now reading a new translation of his letters, the one you quote from here. How I love the man! As well as the composer. Is there any difference between them? I wonder.
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
Oh I love it just to hear all these kind of magnificent music makes me feel so alive and relax and happy and focus and everything!! I feel so identified like it was made for me to hear!! So Pleasurable to hear!!💯😌
I just listened to the Chevalier St. Georges 1st Symphony performed in Paris in 1788 and this symphony also performed in Paris in 1788. What a wonderful contrast.

@@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 .
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.
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.
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
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.
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!

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!
This symphony, like all the others written by Herr Mozart, is a great, beautiful masterpiece. The epitome of perfection!
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!
II. - 08:37
III. - 15:12
Wonderful Performance ! Thank you very much !
It's quite interesting... he wrote a masterful piece even for a city he himself claimed to hate. C'est la life.

Mozart's music is more complicated. Because he is a genius, but Haydn isn't.
Youthful exuberance. (with a whole lot of crazy explainable ultra inspired genius. )
