Spohr’s 6th Symphony
The Sixth Symphony by Louis Spohr isn’t one of my favorites, but it’s fascinating to write about. It’s known as the “Historical” Symphony, and it presents an overview of musical styles from the Baroque to Spohr’s era. The movements are:
- Bach-Handel period, 1720
- Haydn-Mozart period, 1780
- Beethoven period, 1810
- Very latest, 1840
