When possible, please point out the influences (antecedent forms, earlier compositions and composers, etc…) that have led to the things you notice.

Compare and contrast two corresponding movements which are Haydn no 104 in D major 1st movement and Mozart no 40 in g minor 1st movement(the scores will need to be searched and can be found in imslp). What characteristics unify these movements as a single genre, the symphony? What characteristics point to the individual style of the composer? When possible, please point out the influences (antecedent forms, earlier compositions and composers, etc…) that have led to the things you notice. Focus on matters of form, orchestration, composition technique(development, melodic style, harmonic development, etc.)
Thus critical reflection should demonstrate your thorough understanding of high classical symphonic writing as well as the immediate historical influences upon its practicioners. It will also demonstrate your ability to analyze a score.
