MOZART'S WORKS
 THEME OF CLASS
Learning=to-Listen Stu= dents to Hear Second of
 Symphonic TrilOgy

Continuing with the second of Mozart's great symphonic trilogy, his Symphony No. 40 in c Minor (K. 550) will be heard at this even ing's "Learning-to-Listen" music class, which meets at 7:15 in the Bronson Library. This work is one of the three greatest symphonies which Mozart composed in the in credibly short period of six weeks.
 Last week, the class heard the first of this group. the Symphony No. 39 in E fiat major, Contrasting in emotional range and abstract beauty, these symphonies afford the audience the pleasure of a more in- innate acquaintance with the com. poser through his music.
 The famous G minor work is the least gay of Mozart's symphonies. Jahn, one of Mozart's biographers, found it full of sorrow and com blaming" and heard in the first movement a piercing cry of an- guish."
 Mozart had reason enough to com pose symphony such as Jahn des- cribed for in 1788, when he com- posed his last and greatest sym phonies, he was beset by financial difficulties. and, by his own confess sion, was often a prey to dismal thoughts" However, during the same period of tribulation, he also composed his E fiat and Jupiter" sympohnies, the latter to be heard at next weeks concert. Both of these symphonies are cheerful in character: perhaps the explanation of this seeming paradox lies in Olin Downes' statement that ''tne creative spirit" lowering ip thought over the universe, may Soar far away from and above personal and even emotional states of mind"
 An ear-training and rhythm test will be conducted at this evenings class, in which all may participate.
 "Learing-to-List is offered without charge through the co-op- eration of the Bronson Library anc the WPA adult education program of Waterbury. The new beginners group will meet at 7:15 tomorrow night.
