Mozart symphony finished number 41 in C Major 10 August 1788. Symphony was named "Jupiter" thanks scale, monumental, courageous heroics, noble greatness. This last symphony in the composer, who is completing a trilogy of his greatest works in the field of symphonic music. The peculiarity of this symphony is that all of its development leads to the festive triumphant finale, crowning the symphony as the majestic dome crowned grand cathedral. Tchaikovsky, very fond of all the works of Mozart, called this symphony as "one of the wonders of symphonic music."
 
Literary basis of the opera "Mozart and Salieri" was one of the "Little Tragedies" by Pushkin. However, the musical dramaturgy product does not copy the source, it puts the emphasis in Pushkin's works. If Pushkin center of the tragedy, no doubt, is the figure of Salieri, the opera was dominated by the image of Mozart and his art that is deeply consistent with the general concept of Rimsky-Korsakov, always directed to the ideal of harmony. Composer tried to reflect in his music the bright side of life. It is not surprising, therefore, that it attracted the radiant image of Mozart. In the opera by Rimsky-Korsakov has a few quotes from Mozart: Cherubino's aria «Voi che sapete» from "The Marriage of Figaro", the beginning of the aria of Zerlina from "Don Giovanni", fragments of the Requiem. The premiere took place on November 6, 1898 on the stage of the Russian Private Opera (Theatre Mamontov). In the role of Salieri Chaliapin sang.
