The death of Mozart (Anonymous artist, 19th century)
A composer’s final work may not tell us everything about him, but it does say something important about his state of mind at the end of his life.
And if you think it would always be sad or dramatic, you’d be wrong.
Join us for final musical thoughts from Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Britten, Bernstein and more—on this edition of Connections.
