Which composer wrote Jupiter, Symphony No. 41?

Which composer wrote Jupiter, Symphony No. 41?

• A. Mozart
• B. Haydn
• C. Mahler
• D. Tchaikovsky

Answer: (A)

This question tests recognition of a famous symphony nickname and its composer. Symphony No. 41 in C major, known as Jupiter, is Mozart’s work—the late, grand culmination of his symphonic writing (K. 551). The nickname Jupiter highlights the majestic, expansive character of the finale, where multiple musical ideas are woven together in a dazzling, almost celestial fugue-like finale. Among the listed composers, only Mozart is associated with this particular symphony and nickname; the others are tied to different, distinct works and eras. So Mozart is the correct answer.
