Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Requiem K. 626 The Requiem, completed by Franz Xaver Sussmayr, in its traditional form. Mozart's final work, the Requiem K. 626, was left incomplete and it is fraught with questions and emotions: the expressive depth of its music, sorrow at the great composer's early death, truth and legend, fragments and attempts to complete the work.

Par MAHLER GUSTAV. The Song of the Earth , composed in the summer of 1908, is Mahler’s best-known and most personal work. Reflecting drastic changes in his life, its immense emotional density is very moving. Until the very end, Mahler continued to refine the extremely differentiated instrumentation, as is evident in numerous retouchings in the autograph score and engraver’s model. It is therefore …

In 1848, the thirteen year old Henryk Wieniawski wrote the first sketches to his Polonaise in D major.
