The Jupiter Symphony K. 551 is the autograph score of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's longest and last symphony. The symphony, for flute, oboes, bassoons, horns, trumpets, timpani, and strings, was composed, and the score written, in Vienna in August of 1788, just two months after the death of his infant daughter Theresia. It is famous for the expressiveness of its second movement and its intricate fugal finale. The symphony's nickname, "Jupiter," unknown to Mozart himself, is widely believed to have been coined by Johann Peter Salomon.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
