Episode 6: The mystery of Mozart’s Requiem
Episode 6
Wednesday, 16 May, 2018
In 1791 a masked figure knocked at Mozart’s door. He wanted to commission a piece from the great composer – a mass for the dead. There was one condition, Mozart could never know who his client was. Mozart agreed and started work on the piece. But he soon became ill – had he been poisoned? Mozart began to fear he was writing the music for his own funeral. He died before he could finish the piece. Who was the mysterious stranger? And what’s the real story behind Mozart’s Requiem? Original music was written by Thomas Hewitt Jones (@thewittjones).
