Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756
Salzburg - 1791 Vienna) composed his ''Jupiter'' Symphony (KV 551) in
1788. The main theme of the Finale is divided into two contrasting
parts, whose common source is a broad melody which Mozart also used in
the Credo of a mass (KV 192). The first part presents the theme in
majestic evenness, something like a Gregorian chant; the second part
starts on the upbeat and uses lively rhythms.  This main theme is then
introduced by the various groups of instruments one after the other:
first the strings alone, which are divided in two groups in an analogy
to the thematic division. When the theme is repeated, the brass is
added and the theme exudes a bright, fanfare-like character. (E. Stadler)
