Mozart - Lacrimosa from Requiem Mass

Sheet music for violin

Alt. Title: Lacrimosa dies illa from Requiem Mass
Info: The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) was composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer's death on December 5. The Lacrimosa is part of the Dies Irae sequence in the Roman Catholic Requiem mass. One series of myths surrounding the Requiem involves the role Antonio Salieri played in the commissioning and completion of the Requiem (and in Mozart's death generally). While the most recent retelling of this myth is Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus and the movie made from it, it is important to note that the source of misinformation was actually a 19th-century play by Alexander Pushkin, Mozart and Salieri, which was turned into an opera by Rimsky-Korsakov and subsequently used as the framework for Amadeus.
