An Introduction to Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony Discovering Masterpieces of Classical Music

About

A music lesson introducing the world of the Jupiter Symphony, the last and the greatest of Mozart's symphonies.

With this film you will enter, step by step, the world of the Jupiter, the greatest and most spectacular symphony by Mozart. Written in sixteen days in 1788 by Mozart at the age of 32, his last symphony, Symphony No. 41 in C Major, is the sum total of his mastery of composition, a little like Bach's Art of the Fugue. To know it from the inside is also to know Mozart better and to penetrate the mysteries of a piece that holds a key place in the history of music: it represents the perfection of the classical form at the time. The next step was made by Beethoven.
