Whose 41st symphony is known as the 'Jupiter'?
"Reportedly, from the very first chords, Mozart's Symphony No. 41, in C Major reminded Cramer of Jupiter and his thunderbolts. The celebrated finale of the symphony is a re-working, albeit a majestic one, of the opening movement of Carl Ditters's symphony in D, ""Der Sturz Phaëtons"" (The Fall of Phaëton) of 1785. In those days of classical education, members of the Philharmonic Society, of which Salomon was a founding member, will have known that the planet that the ancient Greeks called ""Phaët(h)on"" is the same planet that the ancient Romans called ""Jupiter."" Thus the majestic nickname is also a humorous"
"London visits in 1793, though dedicated to Count Apponyi, were clearly designed for the public performances that Salomon's quartet gave in London. Salomon is also said to have had a hand in providing Haydn with the original model for the text of ""The Creation"". He was one of the founder-members of the Philharmonic Society and led the orchestra at its first concert on 8 March 1813. Salomon is also believed to have given the ""Jupiter"" nickname to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's ""Symphony No. 41"". Amongst his protégés was the English composer and soloist George Pinto. Salomon died in London in 1815,"
"written only a few weeks before Mozart's, also has a fugato in the finale, the theme of which begins with two whole notes. Sherman has pointed out other similarities between the two almost perfectly contemporaneous works. The four-note motif is also the main theme of the contrapuntal finale of Michael's elder brother Joseph's Symphony No. 13 in D major (1764). According to Franz Mozart, Wolfgang's younger son, the symphony was given the name ""Jupiter"" by Johann Peter Salomon, who had settled in London in around 1781. The name has also been attributed to Johann Baptist Cramer, an English music publisher."
"Michael Haydn's works influenced Mozart. To give just three examples: the ""Te Deum"" ""which Wolfgang was later to follow very closely in K. 141""; the finale of the Symphony No. 23 which influenced the finale of the G major Quartet, K. 387; and the (fugal) transition and (nonfugal) closing theme of the G major second subject expositions of the finales of both Michael's Symphony No. 29 (1784) and Mozart's monumental last Symphony No. 41 (""Jupiter"") (1788), both in C major.

Some sources suggest 1821, but public notices using the name have emerged going back to mid-1817. It does not appear to have been much earlier. Salomon died in 1815, so it may have circulated within informed musical circles for a considerable time before it became public. In a phrase ascribed to musicologist Elaine Sisman in a book devoted to the ""Jupiter"" (Cambridge Musical Handbooks, 1993), most responses ranged ""from admiring to adulatory, a gamut from A to A.""

"Piano Trio No. 41 (Haydn) Joseph Haydn's Piano Trio No. 41 in E-flat minor, Hob. XV/31, was written in 1795/1796. It has the nickname ""Jacob's Dream"" because of its second movement. The first movement of this piano trio has the form of a rondo: A–B–A–C–A–Coda. This movement has the scheme A–B–A–Coda. Unusual for Haydn's piano trios, the violin is here the important instrument rather than the piano. The trio is often nicknamed ""Jacob's Dream"" due to the inscription, later removed, Haydn made on the manuscript of the second movement, which read: ""Jacob's Dream! by Dr. Haydn"", in reference to the"

Each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the Solar System and its corresponding astrological character as defined by Holst. From its premiere to the present day, the suite has been enduringly popular, influential, widely performed and frequently recorded. The work was not heard in a complete public performance, however, until some years after it was completed. Although there were four performances between September 1918 and October 1920, they were all either private (the first"

Because this suite consists of four orchestrations of piano pieces by (or in one case, based on) Mozart, Tchaikovsky did not number this suite with his previous three suites for orchestra. Instead, he considered it a separate work entitled ""Mozartiana"". Nevertheless, it is usually counted as No. 4 of his orchestral suites. Tchaikovsky conducted"

There are four movements: The quartet was written for and dedicated to the King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm II, an amateur cellist, and was written in a similar style to the quartets of Joseph Haydn.

The work was first performed on 26 April 1899 by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the composer, in an original version which has not survived. After the premiere, Sibelius made some revisions, resulting in the version performed today. The revised version was completed in the spring and summer of 1900, and was first performed in Berlin by the Helsinki Philharmonic, conducted by Robert Kajanus on 1 July 1900."

"such as Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, Johann Christian Bach, Giovanni Battista Sammartini and Johann Stamitz included parts that exploited the bassoon for its unique color, rather than for its perfunctory ability to double the bass line. Orchestral works with fully independent parts for the bassoon would not become commonplace until the Classical era. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's ""Jupiter"" symphony is a prime example, with its famous bassoon solos in the first movement. The bassoons were generally paired, as in current practice, though the famed Mannheim orchestra boasted four. Another important use of the bassoon during the Classical era was in the"

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.
