## Commentary

The most important monument in the Burggarten of the Hofburg in Vienna is the marble statue of Mozart with a music stand on a large marble pedestal. The pedestal has two sections, the upper sections with Mozart&#39;s name and dates, with bronze and marble musical instruments; and on the lower section a relief with scenes from Don Giovanni, &#39;The Invitation&#34; and &#39;The Stone Guest&#39; respectively. On the sides are theatre masks and putti with music instruments. &lt;p&gt; &lt;table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor=&#34;\#99cccc&#34;&gt; &lt;tr valign=middle&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; border=0 valign=middle&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 38 minutes\):&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/mozart/mozart\_k\_551.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony in C Major \(Jupiter-Symphony\) K 551&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
