How many of us know Mozarts Symphony No. 39 as well as the other two masterpieces in the composers final set of three symphonies, the G Minor and the Jupiter? Perhaps it isnt so easily characterized in a few words. E.T.A. Hoffman, the 19th-century author, wrote of it, Music leads us deep into the realm of the spirits. Dread lies all about us, but withholds its torments and becomes more an intimation of infinity. [E.T.A. Hoffmans Music Writings: Kreisleriana]
