December 5, 1791\n\nFinal illness and death\n \nMozart's final illness and death are difficult topics for scholarship, obscured by romantic legends and replete with conflicting theories. Scholars disagree about the course of decline in Mozart's health – particularly at what point Mozart became aware of his impending death and whether this awareness influenced his final works. The romantic view holds that Mozart declined gradually and that his outlook and compositions paralleled this decline. In opposition to this, some present-day scholarship points out correspondence from Mozart's final year indicating that he was in good cheer, as well as evidence that Mozart's death was sudden and a shock to his family and friends. Mozart's last words: "The taste of death is upon my lips...I feel something not of this earth". The actual cause of Mozart's death is also a matter of conjecture. His death record listed "hitziges Frieselfieber" ("severe miliary fever," referring to a rash that looks like millet-seeds), a description that does not suffice to identify the cause as it would be diagnosed in modern medicine. Dozens of theories have been proposed, including trichinosis, mercury poisoning, and rheumatic fever. The practice, common at that time, of bleeding medical patients is also cited as a contributing cause.\n\nMozart died around 1 a.m. on December 5, 1791 in Vienna. Some days earlier, with the onset of his illness, he had largely ceased work on his final composition, the Requiem. Legend has it that Mozart was thinking of his own impending death while writing this piece, and even that a messenger from the afterworld commissioned it. However, documentary evidence has established that the anonymous commission came from one Count Franz von Walsegg, and that most if not all of the music had been written while Mozart was still in good health. A younger composer, and Mozart's pupil at the time, Franz Xaver Süssmayr, was engaged by Constanze to complete the Requiem. However, he was not the first composer asked to finish the Requiem, as the widow had first approached another Mozart student, Joseph Eybler, who began work directly on the empty staves of Mozart's manuscript but then abandoned it.\n\nBecause he was buried in an unmarked grave, but not a mass grave, it has been popularly assumed that Mozart was penniless and forgotten when he died. In fact, though he was no longer as fashionable in Vienna as before, he continued to have a well-paid job at court and receive substantial commissions from more distant parts of Europe, Prague in particular [citation needed]. He earned about 10,000 florins per year[4], equivalent to at least 42,000 US dollars in 2006, which places him within the top 5 percent of late 18th century wage earners[4], but he could not manage his own wealth. His mother wrote, "When Wolfgang makes new acquaintances, he immediately wants to give his life and property to them." His impulsive largesse and spending often put him in the position of having to ask others for loans. Many of his begging letters survive but they are evidence not so much of poverty as of his habit of spending more than he earned. He was not buried in a "mass grave" but in a regular communal grave according to the 1784 laws.\n\nThough the original grave in the St. Marx cemetery was lost, memorial gravestones (or cenotaphs) have been placed there and in the Zentralfriedhof. In 2005, new DNA testing was performed by Austria's University of Innsbruck and the US Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory in Rockville, Maryland, to determine if a skull in an Austrian Museum was actually his, using DNA samples from the marked graves of his grandmother and Mozart's niece. However, test results were inconclusive, suggesting that none of the DNA samples were related to each other.\n\nIn 1809, Constanze married Danish diplomat Georg Nikolaus von Nissen (1761–1826). Bein

I don't think there are any...\n\nIf a composer writes a symphony, it would be called a "Symphony", not a minuet, serenade, sonata, or canon...

Leonard Bernstein with the New York Philharmonic.\n\nHe captures that unique Beethoven feel and mood so naturally.\n\nThe music always has a brooding, dark intensity through the piece, and Bernstein brings that aspect out very well.

Mozart liked during the Romantic Era.  Why don't you do some research on him?  You could make part of your essay about him.

It is very difficult making a choice, because there are so many symphonies that could go in that position.  Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony is a favourite - the only problem is that despite its name, like most of the choices above  it's not actually a symphony!  I love Honegger's Second Symphony for Strings.  Of course, Beethoven's Fifth (the ta-ta-ta dum one above).  Nielsen, Symphonia Espansiva (the 3rd).  Charles Ives' Third.  Mahler's Sixth and Ninth.  I could go on forever, so I'd better shut up.  :)

Which composer ? each composer has a different approach.........what style of music, all written music is called a composition and each style has a different rhythmic element.............\n\nYour question is way to vague.......try again

Here you go (a real one)\nYou have a staff (a partiture) written for orchestra.\nYou have to make a piano arrangement.\nEach note can be played by left hand, right hand or discarded.\nYou rely on a musician to train the system. Afterwards, it's supposed to work on its own.\n\nPlease write if you tackle it.

yeah, mozart composed the song when he was 4. and then several hundred years later it was transposed to english and then they made the alphabet song out of it. mozart is one of the greatest composers of all time!

It's somewhat depressing to me that people listen to "classical" music primarily for relaxation. Beethoven was not relaxed when he wrote the Fifth Symphony. Sure there is some that is simply beautiful and can produce a feeling of calm and balance. But what about composers like Messiaen, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Britten, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Carter, Busoni, Boulez, etc., who connect with powerful, complex emotions?

If you mean the composer, he was baptised in Leipseng, Germany, and he looked like well. . . Beethoven. To see how he looked go to New Grove Dictionary of Music, here is a breif summary of him. . . if you need more help, let me know. . . I am a Music Education Major at Brevard College, so I know this stuff..(b Bonn, bap. 17 Dec 1770; d Vienna, 26 March 1827 ).German composer. His early achievements, as composer and performer, show him to be extending the Viennese Classical tradition that he had inherited from Mozart and Haydn. As personal affliction – deafness, and the inability to enter into happy personal relationships – loomed larger, he began to compose in an increasingly individual musical style, and at the end of his life he wrote his most sublime and profound works. From his success at combining tradition and exploration and personal expression, he came to be regarded as the dominant musical figure of the 19th century, and scarcely any significant composer since his time has escaped his influence or failed to acknowledge it. For the respect his works have commanded of musicians, and the popularity they have enjoyed among wider audiences, he is probably the most admired composer in the history of Western music.

Mozart is the most well-known and popular composer when it comes to that...\n\nBut I believe any piece of light classical music will help you to study. \n\n(When I mean light, I mean that the music is not dramatic, serious, profound, etc...)\n\nThe volume has to be loud enough so you can hear it clearly ("legibly" so to speak)...\n\nBecause what good would it do if the music is quiet enough to blend into the sounds of the environment?
