In a follow-up (of sorts) to “The Orchestra” from Winter Session 2018, this course explores one celebrated symphony in its entirety per week. I have chosen each symphony as being highly representative not only of its composer, but of its era. The symphonies are:

Haydn: Symphony No. 101 in D Major
“Clock,” H I:101
Mozart: Symphony No. 36 in C Major
“Linz,” K. 425
Beethoven: Symphony No. 5
in C Minor, Op. 67
Schumann: Symphony No. 2
in C Major, Op. 61
Brahms: Symphony No. 4
in E Minor, Op. 98
Elgar: Symphony No. 1
in A-flat Major, Op. 55
Sibelius: Symphony No. 6
in D Major, Op. 104
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 9
