Mozart Symphonies
Mozart Symphonies

Mozart Symphony No.40 vs Beethoven Symphony No.5. Which one wins & why?
Both symphonies are great to me, but i choose Beethoven No.5 because i found it more "emotional" than Mozart's No.40, but that's just my opinion.
Both are complete masterpieces. Both have very famous and very serious first movements. I'm not sure what you mean by which one wins, though.
Personally, I think Beethoven's 5th works better on the whole, moving from stress and turmoil into triumph, which would come to be Beethoven's signature and has become almost cliche. It is my favorite symphony.
I like to think that Mozart really "broke out" and soared to new heights in his 40th and 41st symphonies, then Beethoven sort of kind of came and stood on top of Mozart's shoulders and the foundations he built (he knew the 40th very well - perhaps you know of the purported link between these two symphonies). Beethoven wasn't afraid to break the mold in many respects, either. Many composers do a lot of new things for effect. Beethoven's effects were always just a means to an end, and not the other way around. That's one of the things that makes his music so great.
Of course, one would be no more right or wrong to declare Mozart's 40th the "better" symphony. Jupiter (No. 41), with its use of fugue in the last movement, is my favorite Mozart symphony however.
