Mozart and the Requiem: An Immortal Link

In the 1700s, Count F.A. von Walsegg commissioned his fellow Freemason W.A. Mozart to compose the Requiem, a work that is now world-famous. Composed to honor his wife, Countess Anna von Walsegg, who died at the castle on February 14, 1791, the Requiem was completed in 1792 and was kept at the castle until its transfer to the Austrian National Library. It remains one of the world's most precious manuscripts.
