![]() Nikolaus Harnoncourt argues that Mozart composed the three symphonies as a unified work, pointing, among other things, to the fact that the Symphony No. 41, as the final work, has no introduction (unlike No. 39) but has a grand finale. No. 39 was completed on 26 June and No. 40 on 25 July. Symphony No. 41 is the last of a set of three that Mozart composed in rapid succession during the summer of 1788. The symphony is scored for Flute, 2 Oboes, 2 Bassoons, 2 Horns in C and F, 2 Trumpets in C, Timpani in C and G, First and Second Violins, Violas, Cellos and Double Basses. The work is nicknamed the Jupiter Symphony, probably coined by the impresario Johann Peter Salomon. The longest and last symphony that he composed, it is regarded by many critics as among the greatest symphonies in classical music. ![]() ![]() Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completed his Symphony No. ![]()
