Thank you!

Answer
Hi Akkad,

This is a delightful piece of symphonic music! You have great taste!!

Though I can't name the piece specifically, I can tell you that it is from the Classical period (1750-1825). I can also tell you that it was most likely composed by either Haydn, or more likely by Mozart. It sounds like the first movement of a symphony, because of the form of the sections.

I'm sorry that I can't be more specific. You might want to search on YouTube and see what the first movements of Mozarts 41 symphonies sound like. I can tell you for sure that it isn't Symphony 41.

Thanks for posing a question of AllExperts!

Best regards,

Donald
