Question

Did you know? Mozart was so poor when he died (1791) that he was buried in an unmarked mass grave — common at the time for bodies without paying family. Nobody knows exactly where his body lies. The famous "Requiem" was the work he died composing, a commission he never completed.

Accepted Answer

Mozart was so poor when he died (1791) that he was buried in an unmarked mass grave — common at the time for bodies without paying family. Nobody knows exactly where his body lies. The famous "Requiem" was the work he died composing, a commission he never completed.

Mozart was zo arm bij zijn dood (1791) dat hij in een naamloos massagraf werd begraven — destijds gewoon voor lijken zonder betalend familielid. Niemand weet precies waar zijn lichaam ligt. Het beroemde "Requiem" was het werk waar hij aan stierf, een opdracht die hij nooit voltooide.
