Requiem in D Minor, a work of legendary fame, marked a highpoint in W. A. Mozart’s period dedicated to composing sacred music. Mozart’s use of dramatic action breathes new life into this sacred genre, with a sound that creates a powerfully intense auditory experience. His disciple Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who had already assisted him with other contemporary works such as The Magic Flute and The Clemency of Titus, finished off the requiem after the composer’s untimely death.
Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 also stands out among his last three symphonies for its masterly use of wind instruments in the orchestral texture and for its bold harmonics, which are unique to this work.
