This very clear musical analysis of the finale from Mozart's Jupiter symphony reveals every ounce of the great composer's contrapuntal genius.

Absolute tragedy he died so young.
With the Jupiter i always get the sense that he was entering a real mature stage of symphonic composition.
We can only imagine what was to follow.
