Claim 4: G Minor's Expressive Tradition

G minor [1] carries a tradition of introspective melancholy, exemplified in Mozart [2]'s Symphony No. 40 and the jazz standard "Autumn [3] Leaves."

Context

I position my work within G minor's rich expressive history. Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, represents the classical expression of this key's introspective character, while "Autumn Leaves" demonstrates how G minor carries emotional weight in jazz tradition. My synesthetic translation engages with this historical resonance.
