Paul Wranitzky, Mozart’s masonic brother, was a favourite composer of the Viennese court for which he wrote exclusive compositions. Wranitzky was a characterful composer with a masterful sense of orchestration, but his sudden death in 1808 saw his legacy overshadowed by his contemporaries Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. The composer’s mature Symphony in C major is a fine example of his abilities, and the finale of the Symphony in D major bursts into life in fine Janissary style, complete with triangle, cymbals and Turkish drum.

•Wranitzky, P: Symphony in D Major "Con musica turca"
