And Mendelssohn and Bizet and Gershwin. If I get to the afterlife and find out those guys haven't been composing for the past two centuries, I'm gonna be mad!
This is for me the finest music in the symphonic genre; it’s lively, magisterial, human and exhilarating. It never fails to overwhelm me. We are all lucky to have this music. Thank you for lifting the curtain on some of its glory
Perfect example of why it's said that you can listen to great music over and over and notice new things each time. Your color coding of each theme is very helpful.
@@Loupa57 Which I've been, in orchestras and string quartets and concert choirs. Listening all around for your cues in context is such a wonderful way to learn how a masterful piece is constructed!
A brilliant professor of my college years offered a survey course of classical music for those of us who knew nothing. To get a seat in the classroom, located in the basement of an ancient-seeming campus building, you had to arrive early. Kids who weren't even enrolled would crowd in. Mozart's 41st was the first piece we studied. We learned there was a musical architecture within the magic, and yet the magic ultimately defied explanation.
Mozart composed this last symphony in 15 days, not the last movement, 15 days for the entire symphony. It's incredible he made this 5 themes fugue work in such a few time. An usual composer spent months to do something like that. And worst, this symphony was not performed more than 2 or 3 times.
You seem to be assuming he didn't start on the 41st until after he had completed the 40th. It's at least as plausible that he was working on the three last symphonies in parallel, The time from the completion of the 39th to the completion of the 40th was just about a month, and the 40th is shorter than the 41st. It seems more likely to me that when he completed the 40th, he'd already done a lot of the work on the 41st, so the remainder took less time. Mozart was a fast composer, though. He wrote the "Linz" Symphony in 4 days, so it's possible you're right.
Thank you! I was the one who asked you before to explain fugues more after your last video. You said you would and you did!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been driving in my car with this symphony blasting!!! Love Mozart’ s Jupiter. I love Gustov Host Jupiter too but that’s for another day. Thank you!! Love the color coding and little comments.
All of Bach's output is the greatest 30 seconds of classical music., because after 30 seconds of pondering his work, one cannot think anymore and is left speechless.
I remember when I first heard this section of Mozart's 41st, and realized why viscerally that he is considered among the world's greatest composers ... halfway between the last great works of Bach and the last great works of Beethoven, there is that thirty seconds of perfection in the middle, looking both ways!
Many years ago, my girlfriend, a conservatory grad, asked me my "desert island" choice of music. I immediately said "The Jupiter". It would remind me of what music is all about. Nicely parsed, young man.
Excellent video. This is my favorite movement of my favorite piece of classical music and I am still probing its depths. One cannot imagine what another 35 years of this musical genius would have given the world!
Thank you for making my appreciation of Mozart's language richer today. Wish your videos were around when I was at school. Color coding. combined with page of score and the orchestral sound. We live in blessed times indeed.
This piece of the 41st symphony gave me almost highest note for the music exam at high school final exams, (Baccalauréat), so I will always remember it with love an nostalgia!
Mozart’s genius will continue to astound classical music lovers for ever. I love this symphony and have played maybe thousands of times. This part of the great 41 is definitely my favourite and I always ponder afterwards how does someone come up with these amazing pieces of music. But of course, Mozart is not just someone, he one of the greatest, or maybe the greatest composer of all time.
This ranking of who is the greatest is nonsense. There have always been ´´my favorite and best of all times´´. it´s not that simple. People are different with different taste. In my case I love all the greats, not at least Mozart.
Excellent analysis. I’ve always loved this last movement of the Jupiter but never truly understood all the things that were happening in it. Your unpacking it and revealing the five melodies has made my appreciation of it far deeper and richer. Thank you!
The second you said fugue I know it was the Mozart symphony 41 final movement, it is divinely brilliant. 5 part invertible counterpoint in fugue form using 4 musically beautiful subjects taken from the movement all leading to a triumphant coming together with the 5th and finale remaining motive of the piece. Well played Her Mozart, well played.
Outstanding, but I thought you were going to bring us the moment toward the end of the movement where Mozart inverts the theme. This just blew me away as a fifteen year old discovering the music. How beautiful it all was...
Your comment about inverting the theme has piqued my interest. I'm going to have to print the score and study that. By training, I am a choral person ... and am reminded of the "Laudate pueri" (4th movement) of Mozart's Solemn Vespers where he does this in the voice parts.
I think out of all movements of the Jupiter Symphony, the first and the last movements are outstandingly masterful, while the second and third movement is beautiful.
Wow! Thanks for explaining some of the intricacies of that piece! I've grown up with classical music and love it, but the way you pick it apart before putting it back together again just makes it a lot easier to understand why it is considered such a great body of art. Thanks for that!
I recall a similar episode of a radio program entitled "Music West" many years ago, perhaps 25. At the time i was not the biggest Mozart fan, much more interested in L.V. Beethoven and the later romantics.The program I heard, on public radio, destroyed my preconceptions of W. A. Mozart's canon and left me in tears. This episode of 'Enjoy Classical Music' has recharged my passion. While I wish I could find the Music West episode, this production will more than adequately fill the void!
For extended greatness in music I turn to Handel in such works as the 'Amen' chorus at the very end of his Messiah. The contrapuntal manipulation including fugal and canonic imitation, stretto and inversion all to serve a massive dramatic orchestral/choral effect is overwhelming.
I could just nod in agreement when you revealed the piece in your claim. This passage is the only music in Mozart’s repertoire that has brought me to tears, for it’s creativity and execution. When I first sat down and gave this symphony all of my attention, as a young teenager in the 70’s, the thought struck me that Mozart might have known this was his last symphony and was pressed to give all he had left within him into the score. It truly is the moment in the performance I always anticipate. Hence, I judge a performance by this passage - it’s clarity and precision.
Thank you! I've tickets to experience Mozart's Jupiter with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra next month and have been binging on various versions and explanations in preparation. I love this!
I didn't even realize it was a fugato, very pleasing to hear! My favourite part in classical music is the Millionen X Ode to Joy double fugue in the last movement of Beethoven's 9th
Mine as well. Beethoven’s 9th, IVth movement “Ode to Joy” especially rehearsal marks K and L. Tears every time… Beyond human comprehension. Also entire Passacaglia in C Minor - J.S.Bach.
Thanks so much for making this video. I have been looking for a video like this last year when I wanted to show friends and family the beauty, briljante and complexity of the 4th movement. Your video perfectly captures both graphical in in words, so even a layman without knowledge about scores can understand it.
yes indeed, and we should remember how deeply the entire last half of the 41 finale touches the heart too. I think some folks miss this, or don't comment on it enough.
reminds me when I realized how much Mozart had managed to pack into the finale of Cosi fan Tutte - it seemed in every line there was a new emotion represented, and yet it flowed as one melody. Now I have to listen to 41 from the beginning...
Well done. Love that Jupiter ever since muh student years. The main theme, if you should somehow manage to forget it, is the pitches of the keys of the four Brahms symphonies in a row: C - d - F - e. Any more videos like this one are welcome. Thanks.
Thanks--that was very enjoyable. The contrapuntal combination of all the themes towards the end is indeed a tour de force and shows how thoroughly Mozart had absorbed Bach's method. Each theme is made so that it will later work with the others--avoiding traffic jams, in a phrase I heard Elliott Carter once use to describe how he wrote his string quartets that were actually double duos.
Great job analyzing this work. Even though I was brought up on classical music (playing it also on piano and trombone), and even playing many years in various bands and orchestras, I never cease to be amazed at how much I am missing in much of the music. As with many, I am not a big fan of most of Mozart's music. But then again, I admit that I probably have not actually broken down any of his symphonic works like you have. It seems that Mozart's genius hides in its SEEMING simplicity. But I would argue that this is both the main good and bad aspect of classical music. There is so much subtlety, that most people with NO musical training (or at least little exposure) in classical music, that they find it BORING. I wish it was not so, but it seems to me that it is next to impossible to open the eyes (or should I say ears) of the masses to the GENIUS of Mozart and other classical composers, without having them IMMERSED in classical music, and at least to some degree, formally trained in it. Along with many of my peers, I feel that it is my duty to keep classical music alive by my performing it. But it seems that more than that is needed. Education, in hopefully fun and interesting way, seems to be needed. Thanks to the entertainment industry, THEY have effectively decided on what kind of music people should be listening to. Even early school education has abandoned classical music, best I can tell. And before I am called a snob, I do enjoy many other genres of music, and even compose in a lot of them, sometime mixing aspects of classical music into it. I guess what I am finally getting around to saying, is that I think this video (and possibly your others, I just discovered your channel) is serving an important part in educating the masses, regardless of what level of musical background they might have. I encourage you to continue your important work!
I first heard this when I was 17. I didn't understand all the subtilities, of cource, but I knew instinctively that this was something special. Now I understand that you have to have a sence of Plato's "The Good, The True and The Beautiful" to fully appreciate somerhing like this.
My favorite 30 seconds (actually longer than 30 seconds) of classical music is Leos Janacek's Sinfonietta, the last movement at the Allegretto. This is the theme that starts the piece. if you dont have goosebumps when this ends you are dead! Treat yourself and listen to the entire composition while following the score. It is a testament to mankind and I always feel empowered at the last chord. I can't imagine hearing it in an orchestra hall live. Im sure I would die, but that's ok! Enjoy this powerful piece of music!
I grew up with the Jupiter symphony and, though i am well over my "classicism superiority" Phase, this symhponyhas always place in my Heart. Hope you'll do more if this videos.
What you described most clearly, was the work of a genius! which Mozart was. I firmly believe that all the best, or should I say, the most popular music composers were given the same gift of music! You cannot contrive such a masterpiece by thinking about it, or trying to engineer it, it is a divine gift, and I believe that the music is already in them, just waiting to come out!
One advantage I have from playing for almost 50 years is that I can always pick out multiple lines at the same time-so even if I didn't have the score, I could hear those various restatements of the little musical themes. I don't know how else to describe it to someone who can't do it.
@@hjo4104 Thank you for your opinion sir but I adore revolutionary music and strong loud symphonies just like Beethoven's third it's my most favorite piece I equally love both Mozart and Beethoven and I don't think its appropriate to make a comparison between two of the greatest composers of all time they're like two sides of the same coin
1:42 Until this point the 4 bar theme was presented one-after the other. Here, the first note of theme starts on the last note of the previous iteration which picks up the pace and precipitates a cadence before launching into the 2nd theme. It's a simple gesture, but important as it allows the music to escape the 4-square regularity and push forward.
I am currently playing this symphony in the second violin part. I kinda like how it's almost like a classical version of an electronic track where you make some rhythm and melody and you can throw it in and mix it with various parts of the song lol.
I enjoy classical music but am terrible at reading music. This was an interesting video, but I think sometimes just hearing music and letting it touch your soul is enough.

If only Mozart (or Schubert, among others) would have had ten more years of life... their latest works were so outstanding...
I totally agree...imagine 20 years more, like Beethoven had. Or 40, if they'd done a Haydn! Scarcely imaginable...
But as they say in show business -always leave them wanting more.
And Mendelssohn and Bizet and Gershwin. If I get to the afterlife and find out those guys haven't been composing for the past two centuries, I'm gonna be mad!
If Mozart finished his Requiem, I believe it would be the greatest piece ever written.
@@pavaomrazek I know you meant "Piece" but actually it might have BEEN thee "greatest peace" as you say!
Five separate themes?! For Mozart, master of the the opera, this is his forte. How blessed humanity has been!

I am currently playing this symphony in the second violin part. I kinda like how it's almost like a classical version of an electronic track where you make some rhythm and melody and you can throw it in and mix it with various parts of the song lol.
Very good video, Thank You very much !!! :)
This is a wonderful video, thank you.
Thanks, that helped - several decades ago the late Bernard Levin raved about The Jupitor, but I never quite got it.
Have always adored this. Refreshing that it's not Bach. I am addicted to Bach-- Have subscribed. Thank you.
Joyful moments! 👏👏👏
I enjoy classical music but am terrible at reading music. This was an interesting video, but I think sometimes just hearing music and letting it touch your soul is enough.
