!!!Viennese Classic !!Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: ''Jupiter-Symphony'' [{Image src='Wissenssammlungen/Musik-Lexikon/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart_Jupiter-Symphonie/090101a.jpg' height='250' alt='Jupiter-Symphonie' caption='Notation to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts "Jupiter-Symphony"' width='397'}] 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.
