The story of how the 'torso" of this work became one of the most beloved classical masterpieces is one of the great tales of music history. Our Bachgrounder will explore the compositional history of the Requiem; the concert will present, first, the work exactly as Mozart Left it, and then as it is known to the world, as completed by Mozart's student Franz Xavier Süssmayr.
