DEATH OF MOZART
|
|
|
The death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has long shrouded with mystery. ... There was never an autopsy done on Mozart’s body. Mozart’s sudden sickness and his young age also brought confusion. Because of these factors, mystery has surrounded Mozart’s death. There are many possible explanations for the death of Mozart and in the following paragraphs I will explore the most plausible ones.
Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria on January 27, 1756 and died in Vienna, Italy on December 5, 1791. There are many rumors and ideas of what actually killed Mozart, but the facts are all the same. In Mozart’s final years he was struggling financially. ... In these letters, Mozart mentioned debts to a former landlord, a pawnbroker, and the publisher of Artaria, for books, music and manuscript paper. Wolfgang Mozart was also very generous to his friends, by always lending them money. Even though he started to get back on track financially before his death he still was in debt after his death.
Around mid-July of 1791, Mozart was commissioned in secrecy, unknowing of who commissioned him, by Count Walsegg Stuppach to compose a requiem for the count’s late wife. ... Mozart worked feverishly on the requiem, believing it would commemorate his own death. While working on the requiem he began having premonitions of his own death and started to believe he was writing the requiem mass for himself. ... On December 3rd Mozart was visited by several friends, and possibly Salieri was one of them. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died around one o’clock on December 5. Mozart was buried in a common grave and despite myth it was not a rainy or snowy day, but a calm clear day.
