Thank you for posting. I really am still enjoying the music. Usually I listen to country. It does not sound brooding to me but what does a country listener know. LOL Just an observation, there is a lot of man spreading goin’ on in the orchestra.

You are welcome. I am glad you like it. This symphony was a great leap forward in music making, and opened up future composers (including Beethoven) to a whole set of new musical ideas. There are many musical nuggets in this symphony that ultimately inspired 19th century composers.

Mozart's next symphony, his last (no. 41 nicknamed "Jupiter") is considered a milestone in music making.

By the way, the man-spreading might be understandable and seen in almost all orchestras as the players have to sit a certain way and read the notes in front of them. It just happens to be a convenient position, nothing wrong with it (not that you were trying to imply anything).
