| MOZART IN 1788 |
The three symphonies were most likely composed for a series of subscription concerts that apparently never took place. It is likely that Mozart only heard one of the three (probably #41) performed during his lifetime.
Symphony 41 (nicknamed "Jupiter" for its grand character) is Mozart's longest and most ambitious symphonic masterwork. It is filled with glorious fanfares, heroic themes, and intricate polyphonic textures.
Today the "Jupiter" Symphony stands as not only Mozart's greatest symphonic work, but arguably, the single most important symphonic composition of the 18th century.
