Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Symphony No. 40 in G minor, KV. 550, 4th movement.
I think this movement feels a little spooky despite the indication of “allegro assai” (For those of you who don’t parla italiano, allegro assai is Italian for... very allegro!). It’s particularly so if the performance really puts some electricity into the trills like the one in the 10th bar. You’re probably not supposed to play it that way, but it’s a very cool effect and it plays right into the sneaky chromatic things Mozart’s doing here.
