13. In 1783 in the city of Linz
(Austria's third largest city),
Count Thun, announced a
concert of Mozart's music.
However, the situation was
awkward because Mozart
had no music prepared to
play, and the concert was
only four days away.
Mozart wrote to his father:
"As I have not a single
symphony with me, I am
writing a new one at
breakneck speed.“
Against all odds, the work
was finished in time.
It is now known as:
SYMPHONY NO. 36 IN C,
"LINZ" K.425

was in his 30’s, he

own food

1791, a man came to
Mozart and asked him
to write a Requiem.
This is a funeral

identify himself and
Mozart became
scared of him. He
thought it was his
Father coming back
from the dead

was later finished
by Franz Xaver
Süssmayr.
It was thought for
many years that
he was a former
student of
Mozart’s, but this
is a Myth.
