Composer: Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus
Publisher: Alfred Music
Genre: Masterwork
Description:
At his premature death in the early hours of December 5th, 1791, Mozart left his final masterpiece unfinished and shrouded in mystery. It had been commissioned by a 'grey messenger' whose ghostly apparition convinced the sick and impoverished composer that he was being told to write his own musical epitaph. This and the myth of his being poisoned by the jealous Salieri became the stuff of legend in the 19th century, and inspired an opera, a play, and a film in the twentieth century. The Requiem remains of the most personal, impassioned, and profound of Mozart's works.
