www.britannica Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550, symphony by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Composed in 1788, it is one of only two symphonies he wrote in minor keys and reflects his interest in the artistic movement known as Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress), in which darker and stronger emotions were showcased. The year 1788 was a dark one for Mozart. Viennese audiences were proving less eager to hear his concerts and recitals, bills were piling up, and his infant daughter Theresia had just died. Letters to friends reveal that he was finding it difficult to look beyond the shadows, and some have suggested that this fact influenced this unusually anxious symphony. Yet there is more at work here than one man’s daily sorrows. However, it is only one of three symphonies Mozart would write this summer, apparently at the eventually abandoned prospect of a concert tour to London.

In particular, Da Ponte replaced Figaro's climactic speech against inherited nobility with an equally angry aria against unfaithful wives.[4] The libretto was approved by the Emperor before any music was written by Mozart.[5] Performance history[edit] Figaro premiered at the Burgtheater in Vienna on 1 May 1786, with a cast listed in the "Roles" section below.
