A rich and varied work, with a much-admired last movement, Mozart鈥檚 Symphony No. 41 announces itself in strident style. This work is god-like, full of power, light, and jollity.
It came to be known as 鈥楯upiter鈥� on account of the fact that its opening chords suggested thunderbolts to some, which might have been thrown by that Roman deity.
In the positive key of C major, Mozart gives us life-affirming music and his last symphony.
