The Requiem Mass K 626 in D minor, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's last unfinished work, represents a labyrinth of contradictions and mysteries that over time has divided historians and musicologists, fueling conjectures and igniting passions. Mozart completed only the Introit: Requiem aeternam, and wrote the main parts of the opera, indicating the melodic motif of the accompaniment from time to time. Kyrie, Sequentia (with the Lacrimosa which stops after the first eight bars) and the Offertorium arrived at this stage. After Mozart's death, his wife Constanze delegated the completion of the Requiem to her husband's three pupils, in order to get closer to the original intentions of the work, but only Franz Xaver Süssmayr continued the work, homogeneously rearranging the work of the previous collaborators and completing the totally missing passages of the manuscript. From the very first notes there is a sense of anguish, it is as if the author was afraid of death and judgment and it is as if it were already present.
