This Mass is one of the well known and most performed composition from Mozart. Mozart had presumably worked with some interruptions at this Requiem until December 4th, 1791, the day before his early death. However, this composition remained unfinished. As the customer had already done a considerable deposit and Constanze Mozart didn't want to loose the first and second deposit, she asked in December 1791 the church musician J. Eybler to complete the composition.

As the customer had already done a considerable deposit and Constanze Mozart didn't want to loose the first and second deposit, she asked in December 1791 the church musician J. Eybler to complete the composition.

Eyblers work remained a fragment. So a student of Mozart, Franz Xaver Süssmayr, was engaged at last. Süssmayr worked quickly and Constanze Mozart has been able to offer already in March 1792 the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. a score copy of the Requiem for sale.

In his initial regulation to the funeral ceremony Mozart's requiem already resounded at the beginning of the 19th century to numerous burials: Klopstock, Beethoven and Chopin are lifted out by name. W. A. Mozart's requiem left for the following generations as a unchallenged outstanding reference point.

At the beginning of 1787, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart visited Prague the first time. Till today you can find many domains of the composer: inns, wine taverns or the villa of a patroness. Mozart enjoyed the time in the "Golden Town" in which his opera Don Giovanni was also played for the first time. The performance of "Don Giovanni" in October 1787 became a great success, although the Maestro wrote the overture in the morning hours before the Première.
