Mozart's 40th Symphony on This Day in History

This day in history: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completes his Symphony No. 40 in G minor (K550) on this day in 1788. I actually have a ringtone of this piece. According to wikipedia this song ranks as #33 of "The 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music." Mozart appears 6 times on the list, and if my count is right, that is more than anyone else on the list.

The 1984 movie based on Mozart, Amadeus, is one of my favorite movies and is still included in the American Film Institutes top 100 movies of all time.

And who can forget the 1985 German rap song, Rock Me Amadeus by Falco?
