Book Description
"'When was the score of the Requiem completed?' is a question that everyone has asked; . . .but Wolff goes on to ask: 'Where do the technical and stylistic premises for the Requiem lie, and to what extent could these be taken into account after Mozart's death?' This question is rich in implications, central to the uniqueness of the work, and virtually undiscussed in the Mozart literature."—Thomas Bauman, co-author of Mozart's Operas

Mozart's Death
Author: William Stafford
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349125164
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
There is a macabre fascination in the spectacle of one so brilliant, dying so young, in such tragic circumstances. Was Mozart poisoned? Was he irresponsible and childish, dying from debauchery and dissipation? Did his wife contribute to his downfall? Was he driven to destruction by being ostracised as a rebel? Did his genius render him incapable of normal human contact and worldly prudence? Did he die because he had accomplished his mission as an artist and burnt himself out? Was he the victim of a run of bad luck? From 1791 to the present such stories have flourished; this book examines their development and the evidence for them.

Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
The haunting beauty of Mozart's Requiem and the tragic circumstances surrounding its composition have made it a favorite among performers and listeners alike. But how much of it actually Mozart's - and how do we know? Who wrote the missing pieces? What role did his wife, Constanze, play - and what about the man who secretly commissioned the work? Who tricked whom, and who had the last laugh in this grim tale? The author, an internationally recognized expert on Mozart, traces the complex web of events and intrigue surrounding the composition of the Requiem and how it was completed after Mozart's death. In an easy-to-read style, he presents an accurate, precise, complete narrative of the dramatic story; and with a spoonful of sugar, he introduces newcomers to some of the technical problems, clues, and terminology used in reconstructing such histories.

Requiem in D Minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for Solo Piano (1791) K.626
Author: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1447489179
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
Mozart showed amazing talent from early in childhood. Already competent on the keyboard and violin, he started composing from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, he was enlisted as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless of this and decided to travel in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. The Requièm Mass in D minor was composed in Vienna in 1791 and was left unfinished when Mozart died on December 5th 1791. A completion dated 1792 by Franz Xaver Süssmayr was delivered to Count Franz von Walsegg, who had anonymously commissioned the piece for a requiem mass to commemorate the February 14th anniversary of his wife's death. A facsimile sheet of music from the Dies Irae movement of the "Requiem Mass in D Minor" (K. 626) in Mozart's own handwriting. It is located at the Mozarthaus in Vienna.
