Jagdsinfonie Explained
The Jagdsinfonie or Sinfonia da Caccia for 4 Horns and Strings is a work by Leopold Mozart in the key of G major.[1] It is scored for corni di caccia, or hunting horns, strings, and gunshots, a naturalism not atypical of this composer. Some performances add the recorded sounds of shouts and barking dogs.
There are 3 movements:
- Allegro
- Andante più tosto un poco allegretto a gusto d'un Echo
- Menuetto
