Discover the Symphony (Alampra)

Discover the Symphony (Alampra)

After the enthusiastic reception of the public to our first presentation of the Symphony within the CySO “Neighbourhood Concerts” last February, the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra renews its invitation to “Discover the symphony” to six communities and municipalities during April and June.

We welcome you therefore to discover the Symphony, one of the most significant orchestral musical genres of classical music. Through samples of popular symphonies by the greatest composers of the genre, we will make a journey of 130 years: from the classical composers Joseph Haydn (the father of the symphony) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at the end of the 18ου c. to the «romantics» Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert in the 19th c. up to the Russian Sergei Prokofiev at the beginning of the 20th c. We begin by showcasing the «standard classical» movements of a Symphony: fast, slow, Minuet and Finale as well as their musical characteristics. Then, through the example of Prokofiev’s «Classical» symphony we will show how these movements combine to form a unified work.

L.v. Beethoven: Symphony no. 8 in F major: I. Allegro vivace e con brio
Fr. Schubert: Symphony no. 6 in C major (“Little”): II. Andante
Haydn: Symphony no. 101 in D major (“The Clock”): III. Menuetto
A. Mozart: Symphony no. 41 in C major, K. 551 (“Jupiter”): IV. Molto Allegro
Prokofiev: Symphony no. 1 in D major, op. 25 (“Classical”)
