MOART'S REQUIEM.
Ono day early in AuguHfc, -171)1, aftor his re
turn to Vienna, Mozart, plungod in a gloomy
revery, heard a carriage stop at bin door. A
ntrangr-r of dignified and improssive jipiiear
anoe and manner wan introduced.
"I have been commissioned, Hir," Haul he,
"hy a perHon of considerable importance, to
call upon yon."
"Who in he ?" interrnptod Mozart.
"He doeH not wish to ho known."
"Well, what does he want ?"
"He has jnst lost a person whom he ten
derly loved, and whoso memory will he eter
nally dear to him. He is desirous of annnnlly
commemorating this mournful event ly a
nolomn service, for which he requests you to
compose a IJeqniem."
Mozart, who had often wished to try his
uliill on a work of tmch an elevated and pa
thetic style, and who was, moreover, much
struck hy the grave and mysterious manner nf
the dtninger, undertook to compose the re
quired Requiem.
"Employ all your genius on this work,"
nairt the stranger; "it is destined for a con
noisseur." "Ho much the hotter," said Mozart.
"What time do you require
"A month."
"Very well, in a month's time I shall return.
What price do you set upon your work ?"
"One hundred ducats."
The stranger counted them out, and disap
peared. Mozart remained for Rome time deeply im
mersed in thought. Always subject to a pro
found and gloomy melancholy not altogether
nnmingled with superstition, the delicate state
of his health, together wiHj the natural reac
tion of the over-excitement of his life at
Schikaneder's, rendered him, at this time,
still more liable to such fits; and the peculiar
manner of the unknown impressed him vt;ry
forcibly as being almost supernatural. Sud
denly, calling for pons, ink, and paper, he set
to work, and continued writing for several
days without intermission; but at last ho fell
nenseloss on the floor and had to give trp for
a time.
It wan, perhaps, a fortunate thing that at
this time he received a commission to com
pose an opera, on the occasion of the corona
tion of the Emperor at Prague. It took away
his mind from the gloomy presages which
occupied it while engaged at the Requiem;
and, moreover, his whole attention would
have to he given to the opera, as it was re
quired at once: and accordingly ho and his
wife, together with his pupil, Sussmayor, set
out for Prague about the lsth of August.
Hnt just as they were staitiug an event oc
curred which brought back to Mozart's mind
all the gloomy thoughts occasioned by the lio
qniem. As he was stepping into tho carriage,
tho unknown suddenly appeared before him
ngain, with the question:
"What about tho Requiem now ?''
Mozart explained that it was impossible to
keep his word.
"Give yourself no uneasiness," said tho
tstranger. "What further time do you re
quire V"
"Another month; the work has interested
me more than I expected, and I have ex
tended it beyond what I at first designed."
"In that case it is but just to increase the
premium; here aro fifty ducats more."
' 'Who, then, are you, sir ?" exclaimed Mozart.
"That is nothing to the purpose: in a
month's time I will return."
Mozart immediately called a servant and
iold him to follow the strange unknown; but,
from want of ability or attention, tho man
failed and Mazart was more than ever con
vinced that this was no ordinary being, but a
messenger from tho other world.
On his return from Prngno to Vienna, in
September, Mozart immediately put tho
finishing touches to "Die Zauberlloto," which
was produced on the Sloth, of the month, with
immenso success. lie then resumed tho
Requiem, at which ho worked with enthu
siasm, for he was determined that it
should be tho most durable monument of his
(cuius. During the whole of this time ho
was plunged in a melancholy and dejection
approaching monomania. Ho had an idea that
he had been poisoned, and nothing seemed to
cheer him. His friends called on him at in
tervals and tried to arouse him, but he an
swered in monosyllables, and continued at his
score. His wife tried to talk him out of his
fancies, but with tears in his eyes ho would
answer:
"No, no; I am but too well convinced that
I cannot last long. I have certainly been
poisoned. I cannot rid myself of this idea."
At last, by direction of a physician, sho
took the Bcoro from him, which for a time
had the desired effect; and ho was so far re
covered in November that ho attended a meet
ing of tho Masonic body, of which ho was an
enthusiastic member. At this meeting was
performed a little cantata which ho had just
composed for them, "The Praise of Friend
ship," and its success greatly revived him.
Owing to tho decided improvement in his
health, he was permitted to resume the Re
qtiiem once more: but with it his former ill
ness returned. Towards the end of Novem
ber his hands and feet began to swell and lost
almost all power of motion; and he was re
moved to his bed, from which ho never rose
again. His intellectual faculties were still
Tiuimpaired, and his sole desire now was to
finish the llequiem as quickly as possible,
fcSuHsmayer being constantly with him, receiv
ing instructions as to effects to be produced
in its composition.
On the fth of December, the day of his
ueath, some friends (periormers in bclnka
neder's theatre) visited him, and tho ruling
passion was strongly exemplified. "He de
sired the score of the Requiem to bo brought,"
says one of his biographers, "and it was sung
by his visitors round his bed, himself taking
tho alto part. Sehaek sung tho soprano, Hofer
(his brother-in-law) tho tenor, and Gorl tho
bass. They had proceeded as far as tho first
barsofthe 'Lachrymoso,' when Mozart was
seized with a violent fit of weeping, and tho
score was put aside. It may appear incredible
that Mozart should be in a condition to sing
after an illness of a fortnight's duration,
in which his weakness was such that
he was obliged to be drawn forward
whenever he required to hit up in his bed.
But there is no reason to doubt tho fact; for,
besides tho . circuuihtantial testimony of
bcliack, to whom wo owe this anecdote, it is
well known that other musicians, whose death
was caused by some ono of tho insidious
forms of consumption, have sung a few hours
before their departure."
Up to the last luomont his thoughts were
with the Requiem. Hi siHter-in-law, who
witnessed his death, whiuU occurred about
midnight on the rth of December, 17!)1, has
left an account of his last hours, in which she
says: "Sussmayer was standing by the bed
side, and on the counterpane lay tho llequiem,
concerning with Mozart was still speaking,
and giving directions; and as he looked over
the pages of tho Requiem for the lust time, ho
said, with tears in his eyes:
" 'Did not I tell you I was writing this for
myself?' "
Tho story which, we have relate os in its
details sufficiently mysterious to affect as it
did a mind so sensitive and superstitious as
Mozart's. Time and investigation havo,
in a greater or lesser degree, removed from
it the mystery which surrounded it;
but neither time nor investigation has
been able to assign any rational or satisfac
tory reason for tho proceedings of tho un
known from whom Mozart received tho com
mission to composo the work in question.
The "person of considerable importance,"
to whom tho stranger alluded on his first visit
to Mozart, has since been discovered to havo
been a Count Wnll:;cgg or Wollfegg, an Aus
trian nobleman, who, according to some,
winning to appear as a musical composer,
thought it tho easiest way to palm off ouo of
Mozart's compositions as his own. This would
certainly account for ihe manner in which his
intendant, tho unknown stranger, appeared
before Mozart. lint, on this supposition, how
are wo to account for the manner in which tho
work was treated for with Mozart? If tho
count really wished to pass the composition as
his own, ho would, of course, have stipulated
that Mozart should resign all claim to its au
thorship, or at least have laid some restric
tions upon him as to his keeping a score, or
publishing a part or the whole of the work;
and ho would, moreover, have obtained from
Mozart a written agreement to such effect.
Furthermore, supposing- that he had made
no such stipulations or even supposing that
he had it would have been necessary, as a
first step, to destroy all traces of Mozart's
handwriting, which would havo been a dan
gerous proceeding when we remember that
Mozart made no sec: vt of the circumstances.
His family and friends all knew that he was
composing the work, and also tho circum
stances under which ho had been commis
sioned to do so.
Again, if Mozart had agreed to give up tho
authorship, he would not, as ho most un
doubtedly did, have regarded tho work as tho
most durable monument of his genius. Ho
would not, as he did, havo mado his friends,
most of them public men, so familiar with its
music that they could have refuted any claims
that might be made to it. Ho would not, as
he did, have talked and written about it to his
friends. He would not, as ho did, havo got
his pupil, Sussmayer, to assist him; and,
lastly, if ho had mado any such agreement
with tho count, would he havo regarded the
wholo affair in tho strangely superstitious
manner that ho most undoubtedly did?
But in the face of theso undoubted facts,
wo havo another undoubted fact namely,
that tho count really did dispute tho Re
quiem's authorship, and instituted legal pro
ceedings against Madame Mozart for having
printed it, which he only stopped at-the
request of the Baron von Nisson, her second
husband, and the Abbo Stadler. Look at
it as wo will, the whole affair appears very
strange. "That a rich and tasteful noble
man," says Mr. Holmes, "who knew Mozart's
power of writing in the most elevated style of
sacred music, hhould wish to possess a Re
quiem by him was not wonderful; but that, in
treating for it, he concealed his name, paid
handsomely beforehand, find transacted the
whole affair through tho agency of one who
seemed to watch Mozart, and to come upon
him at unexpected times and places, was
strange, and appeared to tho composer almost
supernatural.'' What motives he had in so
acting we do not pretend to know; but cau
only (with tho author just quoted) "express
tho obligations of tho world to him, and wish
that Mozart had earlier found so discerning a
patron."
But the Austrian count was not tho only
ono who claimed tho merit of tho Requiem's
authorship. It seems strange, to say the least,
that Madame Mozart, a good musician, who
attended her husband all through his last
illness, and was so perfectly in his confi
dence, should havo been so utterly unable
to decide the question at once and forever.
But her statement is, that whatever scraps
and sketches sho found after Mozart's death
were committed, without examination, to tho
keeping of Sussmayer, who was Mozart's
pupil, and who had assisted him in filling up
homo of his late scores. Sussmayer afterwards
gave Madame Mozart a copy of tho work, of
which portions were in Mozart's handwriting,
and some in his own; and ho also forwarded
ono to tho count. Tho work was subsequently
performed as "Mozart's last composition," at
a concert given for tho benefit of Madame
Mozart; but neither tho count nor Sussmayer
at this time which would havo boon the
proper time made any sign; and it was not
until the work was printed that the count
came forward.
In 17!!) the right of publication was pur
chased by Messrs. Breitkopf and Hartel, who
immediately printed the work; and it was not
until 1801, some two years afterwards, that
Sussmayer thought it worth while to write
letters to the public press, in which he claimed
tho authorship of all thoso portions of tho
copy given to the widow which were in his
handwriting; which assertion, although not
taken much notice of at the time, served, in
182.ri, as the foundation of another
equally startling assertion made by
Gottfried Weber, namely, that Mozart's
claim was an entirely spurious ono, which
assertion gave rise to a dispute engaging the
attention of the principal critics of the day.
But in January, Herr I of ruth von
Mosel published a description of tho copy for
warded to the Count, which had, after his
death, passed into the Imperiid Library at
Vienna. This copy has been declared by com
petent judges to be entirely in Mozart's hand
writing; but it has been asserted, on tho other
side, that the handwriting of master and
pupil was very similar, and that tho copy in
question was written by Sussmayer. This
copy, however, is iiuv generally considered to
set at rest let us hope forever the question
of tho Requiem's authorship. Tho question
has been . very quaintly disposed
of in one sentence by Dr. Bernhard Marx,
of Berlin: "If," he snys, "Mozart wrote it not,
what matter ? He who wrote it is Mozart."
It is not improbable, however, that another
account, which stf.ks that Mozart died before
the entiro completion of tho work, may be in
part true. That Sussmayer enjoyed the per
fect confidence of his master however un
worthy of it is very evident; and nothing is
more probable Hum that he, after Mozart's
death, mado up the uncompleted parts by
means of the fiv.;;m:mtary sketches already
alluded to, assisted by tho minute instruc
tions given him by Mozart on his death-bod.
Nothing would have been easier; ami the in
ternal evidence of tho work itself is in favor
of such a supposition; for we find that tho
two last movements the "Lux Altumn" nn,l
the "Cum banctis r-aro only repetitions of
the two opening movements, the "To lWit
Hymnus" and the "Kyrie Eluisnn." Now
this of itself would not go for much: for Mo
zart lias in more than one of his Masses re
peated the oncninir movements at the close of
the Mass. But, knowing as we do the light
in which he regarded tho Roquiem, it is not
probable that, had ho been spared, he would
Lave done so in this' caso; more particularly
when the sentiment of the words lssoaiiterent.
Regarding the work as ho did, "ho would pro
bably have spared no exertions to give every
possible variety of expression, correspond! n"
to the various character of the words, and
consistent with the extraordinary diversity
displayed throughout all the other movements
of the Mass." It is not, therefore, at all im
probable that Mozart did not live to complete
tho work, and that tho "Agnus Dei was
tho last movement which ho himself wrote.
But, "if there bo any truth in internal evi
dence, we may be well assured that the entiro
composition proceedod from tho one only
mind that could have conceived it, though
some portions of tho mechanical art of trans
cription may havo been executed by another
hand."
