According to several encyclopedias he was deeply in debt, his widow sold a lot of his music to pay the bill.

I know, the movie does an awesome job of presenting Mozart's beautiful music in the best contexts. It's hard not to love classical music, and music in general after watching that movie!

Blast, I still can't reply to my own comments :( Anyway, this rendition of the Requiem opening is total crap, as most of them are. Find the version performed by the Torino Orchestra and "Coro della Rai", directed by Sergiu Celibidache on May 3'd 1968.

Mozart, like all of us, is a man of his era. Don't try to understand him because you can't. Be thankful for all his pain and troubles, because he is the sum of all of those. How would his music sound if he had been a fat, content and happy man? And he did compose the Requiem for his own death. Listening to it, it's like watching him die. Would it still be the same if he had lived longer? It's a symbol for him, cut short, but continued by others. What more can a human ask for?

Try not to believe all the fuzz that has been written about Mozart's life and death. He was not poor, hungry, cold, ignored or disrespected. Health problems were common back then, and Mozart had many times been very close to dying. And his burial method might not have angered his spirit as much as it did yours. He brought music to common folk, with public concerts and cheap ticket operas. Rotting alone in a ooze-filled stone grave did not fit his character. As for his hardships...
