Mozart – Symphony No. 41 'Jupiter'

The summer of 1788, just three years before his death, was a time of symphonic productivity for Mozart, composing his final three symphonies within just three months. The ‘Jupiter’ Symphony – so called after his death – is the last of Mozart’s 41 symphonies and in many ways demonstrates the features of a symphony typical of this time at the peak of the Classical period.
