- Requiem – ‘Confutatis’ By its very definition, Mozart’s Requiem is an immensely powerful, moving work. Best known of all its movements are the ‘Requiem aeternam’, earth-shattering ‘Lacrimosa’, and fateful ‘Dies irae’.
- ‘Jupiter’ Symphony No.41 – fourth movement. If you want to hear the sound of pure, exuberant joy, the glorious finale to Mozart’s Symphony No.41 has you sorted for life.
- Piano Concerto No.20 – first movement. Mozart famously reserved the key of G minor for some of his darkest, most tragic works – but there’s a fair amount to be said for his works in D minor, too.
- Ave verum corpus. One of the most soul-healing few minutes of classical music, ‘Ave verum corpus’ was written by Mozart during his final year. Visiting his wife, Constanze, in Austria, the composer may have already known that his final days were drawing near.

The Marriage Of Figaro (Le Nozze Di Figaro), premiered in 1786, is an ideal place to begin an exploration of the best Mozart works and the opera’s ‘Overture’ sets its mood perfectly. It seems to have been Mozart’s own idea to set the scandalous play by Pierre-Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais, which had already been banned in Paris and Vienna, but wha...
If he was keeping count Mozart cannot have expected his 41st Symphony to be his last – but so it turned out. He certainly wrote nothing more complex than this brilliant, ambitious work, the finale of which offers a display of contrapuntal skills second to none in the whole of music. This is no mere showing off of technical knowledge however, but in...
Our understanding of Mozart’s Requiemis inevitably coloured by the fact that it was his final work, and that he died before he could complete it. Commissioned in a mysterious fashion by a nobleman who wished to pass it off as his own work, as a memorial to his wife, it has attracted a huge amount of myth and conjecture. It is, however, certain that...
Mozart’s affinity for the clarinet is evident in many of his works, but particularly in the late pieces that were written for his friend Anton Stadler to play. The Clarinet Concerto (1791) and the Clarinet Quintet (1789) both date from Mozart’s full maturity, and testify not merely to Stadler’s excellence as a player, but also to the sheer beauty M...
Mozart was a great pianist, and initially made his name in Vienna as a composer of piano concertos that he wrote for himself to play at public concerts. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major was completed on 9 March 1785, just four weeks after the completion of his dramatic Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, and is one of his best-known and tech...
A complex allegorical opera combining elements of fairy-tale quest and symbolic references to Freemasonry, The Magic Flutewas Mozart’s last opera to be staged. It forms an apt summation of the incredible variety of his art, with the diverse music allotted to all the different characters and situations displaying his outstanding range of invention a...
Probably composed in 1783 and published the following year Mozart’s Sonata No.11 has become famous above all for its finale, the so-called ‘Rondo Alla Turca’, which is written in the percussive Turkish style that was well-known in Vienna due to the bands of Turkish musicians who would roam the streets and play in public. Mozart also made use of the...
Mozart’s ability to work fast is evidenced by his so-called Linz Symphony – it was composed in the Austrian city, on a journey back from Salzburg to Vienna in November 1783, to fulfil a commission from a local nobleman. It took the composer just four days to write the piece, which is a mature production full of compositional ingenuity and wit. Ther...
Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, widely regarded as the greatest clarinet concerto and his last instrumental work, was completed in October 1791, less than two months before the composer’s death at the age of just 35. Mozart composed his Clarinet Concertofor the clarinettist Anton Stadler, who was the most gifted clarinettist in Vienna, and he performed...
Mozart composed this short motet, which is just 46 bars long, in the final year of his life while he was in the middle of writing his opera The Magic Flute. Ave Verum Corpus was composed to celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi and was written for his friend Anton Stoll who was choirmaster at the parish church in Baden, Austria. Such was the extrao...
