Since I really don't have friends ( yes sad for me) to talk to about this with I decided just to ask the public what you think....
So I have been listening to Both Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, in D minor, and Mozart's Symphony No. 41 " Jupiter" In C Major and can't really Decipher which Symphony , I won't say better cause each of these Symphonies is an absolute masterpiece, but which one is more expressive. I found it amazing that Beethoven wrote this piece while completely deaf, It's a monster of a symphony as well, being over an hour long. Also, adding, even though he was deaf and not able to have any sort of conversation with anyone, unable to perform as a musician, and having not married, he wrote his last symphony on a poem of universal brotherhood, and loving one another.
Mozart's Jupiter for me is one of the greatest artistic/human achievements in the history of mankind.
Not only for its expression, but its complexity and its Mozartian ease. I think it's really amazing that Mozart wrote this symphony in less than a month along with 2 other masterpieces in about 2 months. His 39th and 40th in G minor. Not too mention the turmoil Mozart was in, loosing his child to premature birth that summer of 1788 and chronically short of money, he wrote this masterpiece, which is filled with absolute triumph, especially in the finale, Molto Allegro. With its grand fugue.
That's my take on each of the Symphonies the question is, which one do YOU think is more expressive? And which is your favorite.
Obviously they're are no wrong answers. I will choose the best answer that can be the most descriptive on what they think of the symphonies.
Thanks!!!
P.s Please listen too each symphony if you haven't yet.
