Mozart Symphony No. 41, "Jupiter"
Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast - Ein Podcast von Joshua Weilerstein - Donnerstags
Why explore two Mozart symphonies in the span of one month? Well, both the Prague and Jupiter symphonies show us different sides of Mozart's genius, and so this week we'll look at the Jupiter symphony in the context of Mozart's obsession with thematic cohesion and his borrowing from the music of other composers. In fact, the Haydn family might have a case for royalties after you explore the last movement of the symphony! This piece is one of the pinnacles of Western Classical Music, so don't miss it!
