Conducted by Dr. MALCOLM SARGENT
An Introductory Talk by Dame ETHEL SMYTH
ONE thing noticeable all through the Symphony is that Mozart has used in it no Drums or any of the heavier brass instruments.
Of its four Movements, the First is quick and bustling-full of restless energy . and dramatic fire, with an under-current of anxiety and mystery running through it.
The Second Movement comes as a beautiful, restful relief after the agitation of the First.
The Third Movement is a cheerful, rather ceremonious Minuet.
The Fourth Movement is the sweeping, rushing Finale, whose speed never slackens, though there are moments of tranquillity.
