Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completed his Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551, on 10 August 1788. [1] The longest and last symphony that he composed, it is regarded by many critics as among the greatest symphonies in classical music. [2] [3] The work is nicknamed the Jupiter Symphony, probably coined by the impresario Johann Peter Salomon. [4]
Mozart's "37th symphony" is actually Michael Haydn's 25th symphony; Mozart only added a 20-bar slow introduction to it. Some symphonies of doubtful authenticity were included in either the Alte Mozart-Ausgabe or the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe ; they are in this list but marked as doubtful or spurious (in the cases of Symphony, K. 16a and K. 98 , which ...
The Symphony No. 39 is the first of a set of three (his last symphonies) that Mozart composed in rapid succession during the summer of 1788.No. 40 was completed on 25 July and No. 41 on 10 August. [1]
Symphony No. 41 may refer to: Symphony No. 41 (Haydn) in C major (Hoboken I/41) by Joseph Haydn, 1769; Symphony No. 41 (Michael Haydn) in A major (Perger 33, Sherman 41, MH 508) by Michael Haydn, 1789; Symphony No. 41 (Mozart) in C major (K. 551, Jupiter) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1788
As Neal Zaslaw has pointed out, writers on Mozart have often suggested – or even asserted – that Mozart never heard his 40th Symphony performed. Some commentators go further, suggesting that Mozart wrote the symphony (and its companions, Nos. 39 and 41) without even intending it to be performed, but rather for posterity, as (to use Alfred Einstein's words) an "appeal to eternity".
"within his lifetime" - there is a concert notice for a Gewandhaus program with two symphonies and two piano concertos (plus Ch'io mi scordi di te) from May 12 1789, I believe, led by the composer; the symphonies were nos. 38 and 41. (probably described as new symphonies in D and in C, of course, since that numbering is a late-19th-century thing.)
The Alte Mozart-Ausgabe (published 1879–1882) gives the numbering sequence 1–41 for the 41 numbered symphonies. The unnumbered symphonies (some, including K. 76, published in supplements to the Alte-Mozart Ausgabe until 1910) are sometimes given numbers in the range 42 to 56, even though they were written earlier than Mozart's Symphony No ...
