1791年夏末,一位陌生人来找莫扎特,请他写一首《安魂曲》。在贫病交困中挣扎多年的这位“上帝的宠儿”,此时刚完成他最伟大的歌剧《魔笛》,心力交瘁。恍惚中他误以为那人是地狱的使者,是传旨让他为自己写送葬曲的。曲未谱完,他就被上帝召去了,年仅35岁。莫扎特1756年出生在今奥地利的萨尔茨堡,今年刚好是他诞生240周年。

In late summer of 1791, a stranger came to Mozart and asked him to write a “Requiem.” The “God’s darling,” struggling for years in poverty and disease, now has just completed his greatest opera, “The Magic Flute,” with all his power. He mistakenly thought that man was a messenger of hell in his trance, and he was sent to write a funeral song for himself. He was called to God by the end of the song, only 35 years old. Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756 and this year marks the 240th anniversary of his birth.
