Talk:Symphony No. 40 (Mozart)

message: The music files on this page will not stop playing once I press "stop". In fact the only way for the music to stop is to let it play all the way or turn off the computer. I find this slightly irritating.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.239.135.140 (talk) 21:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Music Files

message: *The first music download Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart_-_Symphony_40_g-moll_-_1._Molto_allegro is 0 bytes when downloaded!
*I, uhh deleted the following "Mozart loved children and liked to have a gentle touch on their little parts. Just Enjoyable." from the "other" section.
*I reverted unexplained deletion of whole section.
*I removed the theory that the symphony was written by Andrea Luchesi; this is apparently the work of a crank and has never appeared in a peer-reviewed publication.  For discussion please see Talk:Andrea Luchesi.
*Add musical quotation for the amazing chromatic passage.  Piano reduction will be added when the piano that I use gets tuned.
*Added a suitably conspicuous billing for the Fulda Symphonic Orchestra.  I think it's appropriate to acknowledge these artists right here on the page, and not as a kind of footnote attached to the sound files.

message: Are we sure it is at the beginning of the development section?  It seems to occur in the middle of it; as it is 2/3 of the way through the movement and well past the first statement of the themes.
It does not matter that one of Mozarts significant pieces had a sudden change from a major to a minor! 
:Yup, we're sure.  Look at the score, linked from the article, and also (if necessary) at Sonata form.  
:I think the reason you're unsure on this point is this:  the fourth movement has a relatively short development and recapitulation section (exposition 125 bars, development 81 bars, recapitulation 102 bars), so once the prescribed exposition repeat has been played, we're already 58% through the piece .  That's probably late enough to be mistaken for "2/3".  Opus33 23:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quoted Passage 

message: I was wondering... The "C" sign on a music sheet, does mean 4/4 normally, doesn't it? I think it's not exactly the same as 2/2. Also the German version of this page says it's written in 4/4. If it would be 2/2, there should be a vertical line through the C (₵). I don't want to edit the page by my self, because I'm not a specialist in music, or Mozart. But I really think it's 4/4...

replies: text: 2/2 is correct.  The score image is incorrect.  It should have a crossed 'c', (₵).  See the "Neue Mozart-Ausgabe" score links in the external links section.  Someone should fix :File:Mozart 40.png.  The author of that file did not provide lilypond code for easy editing of the image. DavidRF (talk) 22:10, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've visited author NH's talk page on the Swedish Wikipedia and asked him/her to fix.  Opus33 (talk) 16:14, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, there should be an alla breve sign instead. Thank you for pointing this out. I will provide a correct version shortly. (I did in fact provide the Lilypond code -- it's on :commons:file talk:Mozart 40.png -- so if anyone would like to experiment with that, please do go ahead.) /NH (talk) 14:14, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I didn't see the lilypond code there (I've seen in in the 'source' entry but I don't know which is right).DavidRF (talk) 15:10, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The sentence under “the music” that talks about the minuet section claims that ‘various commentators have asserted the minuet would not be suitable for dancing’. 
This implies that most minuets would. This misleading and I think it should be removed. 
Minuets were originally dances but composers used the dance FORM “minuet” for concert music (not intended for dancing) for centuries. (Along with many other dance forms like the Sarabande, Gavotte etc). There’s no reason to suppose (or imply) that Mozart’s Symphony would be for dancing. 
I’ve never edited so I’m hesitant to do it myself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.202.9.78 (talk) 12:53, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
