Yesterday's Answer, Today's Question

Yesterday's Answer:


Alexandra Zuck was Sandra Dee's given name.

Today's Question:


Name the composer and musical era of Symphony No. 41 in C major, nicknamed the Jupiter Symphony.

Spoiler Alert--answer is in the paragraph below. 

This one is easy for me because it and his 40th Symphony, often performed together, are my favorites by him. This is clearly Mozart. As for the era, I do not know much of those but I think he may have been a part of the Classical Era.
