The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer's death on December 5. A completion dated 1792 by Franz Xaver Süssmayr was delivered to Count Franz von Walsegg, who had anonymously commissioned the piece for a Requiem Mass to commemorate the February 14 anniversary of his wife's death.

The Süssmayr completion of the Requiem is divided into fourteen movements, with the following structure:

I. Introitus
Requiem (choir and soprano solo) (D minor)
Kyrie, Bruno Walter, 1956.
II. Kyrie (choir) (D minor)
III. Sequentia (text based on sections of the Dies Irae)
Dies irae (choir) (D minor)
Tuba mirum (soprano, contralto, tenor and bass solo) (B-flat major)
Rex tremendae (choir) (G minor–D minor)
Recordare (soprano, contralto, tenor and bass solo) (F major)
Confutatis (choir) (A minor–F major, last chord V of D minor)
Lacrimosa (choir) (D minor)
IV. Offertorium
Domine Jesu (choir with solo quartet) (G minor)
Hostias (choir) (E-flat major–G minor)
V. Sanctus (choir) (D major)
VI. Benedictus (solo quartet and choir) (B-flat major)
VII. Agnus Dei (choir) (D minor–B-flat major)
VIII. Communio
Lux aeterna (soprano solo and choir) (B-flat major–D minor)

The Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331 (300i), by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a piano sonata in three movements. It is uncertain where and when Mozart composed the sonata; however, Vienna or Salzburg around 1783 is currently thought to be most likely (Paris and dates as far back as 1778 have also been suggested). The sonata was published by Artaria in 1784, alongside Nos. 10 and 12 (K. 330 and K. 332).

Multi-Platinum Concept Album from IndyPop Records https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/indypop/multi-platinum-concept-album

Since the opening movement of this sonata is a theme and variation, Mozart defied the convention of beginning a sonata with an allegro movement in sonata form. The theme consists of two 8 measure sections, each repeated, a structure shared by each variation. The tempo marking is "Andante Grazioso (Walking pace, gracefully)". It is in the key of A major.

Piano Sonata No.11 In A Major - KV 331. I. Andante Grazioso

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completed his Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551, on 10 August 1788. It was the last symphony that he composed, and also the longest.

The work is nicknamed the Jupiter Symphony. This name stems not from Mozart but rather was likely coined by the impresario Johann Peter Salomon in an early arrangement for piano.

The four movements are arranged in the traditional symphonic form of the Classical era:

Allegro vivace, 4/4
Andante cantabile, 3/4 in F major
Menuetto: Allegretto - Trio, 3/4
Molto allegro, 2/2

The symphony typically has a duration of about 33 minutes.

The third movement, a Menuetto marked allegretto is similar to a Ländler, a popular Austrian folk dance form. Midway through the movement there is a chromatic progression in which sparse imitative textures are presented by the woodwinds (bars 43 to 51) before the full orchestra returns. 

In the trio section of the movement, the four-note figure that will form the main theme of the last movement appears prominently (bars 68 to 71), but on the seventh degree of the scale rather than the first, and in a minor key rather than a major, giving it a very different character.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his Symphony No. 40 in G minor, KV. 550, in 1788. It is sometimes referred to as the "Great G minor symphony," to distinguish it from the "Little G minor symphony," No. 25. The two are the only extant minor key symphonies Mozart wrote.

The work is in four movements, in the usual arrangement for a classical-style symphony (fast movement, slow movement, minuet, fast movement):

Molto allegro, 2/2
Andante in E-flat major, 6/8
Menuetto. Allegretto – Trio, 3/4
Finale. Allegro assai, 2/2

The fourth movement opens with a series of rapidly ascending notes outlining the tonic triad illustrating what is commonly referred to as the Mannheim rocket.

Symphony No.40 in G-Minor, K. 550: ‘Great’  IV. Finale, Allegro Assai

The Symphony No. 36 in C major, K. 425, (known as the Linz Symphony) was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during a stopover in the Austrian town of Linz on his and his wife's way back home to Vienna from Salzburg in late 1783.

The entire symphony was written in four days to accommodate the local count's announcement, upon hearing of the Mozarts' arrival in Linz, of a concert. The première in Linz took place on 4 November 1783. The composition was also premièred in Vienna on 1 April 1784.

The autograph score of the "Linz Symphony" was not preserved.

The Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major, K. 299/297c, is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for flute, harp, and orchestra. It is one of only two true double concertos that he wrote, as well as the only piece of music by Mozart that contains the harp.

Multi-Platinum Concept Album from IndyPop Records
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/indypop/multi-platinum-concept-album

The piece is one of the most popular such concerti in the repertoire, as well as often being found on recordings dedicated otherwise to either one of its featured instruments.

I. Allegro

The orchestra states both themes. The first is immediately present, and the second is introduced by the horn. Both themes fall under the conventional sonata form. The soli then re-work the already present themes.

Elvira Madigan, byname of Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K 467,  three-movement concerto for piano and orchestra by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the best known of his many piano concerti. It was completed on March 9, 1785. Its wide recognition is in large part due to the Swedish film Elvira Madigan (1967), in which its lyrical second movement was featured and from which it derives its byname.

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major), K. 525, is a 1787 composition for a chamber ensemble by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 

The German title means "a little serenade," though it is often rendered more literally but less accurately as "a little night music." The work is written for an ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass, but is often performed by string orchestras.

This first movement is in sonata-allegro form. It opens with an ascending Mannheim rocket theme. The second theme is more graceful and in D major, the dominant key of G major. 

The exposition closes in D major and is repeated. The development section begins on D major and touches on D minor and C major before the work returns to G major for the recapitulation. There is a brief coda.

Little Minuet In E Flat Major

The Piano Concerto No. 24 in C Minor, K. 491, is a concerto for piano and orchestra. 

Mozart composed the concerto in the winter of 1785–1786, finishing it on 24 March 1786, three weeks after the completion of the Piano Concerto No. 23 (K. 488) in A Major. He premiered the work in early April 1786 at the Burgtheater in Vienna.

The concerto consists of three movements. The first, Allegro, is in sonata form and is the longest opening movement for a concerto that Mozart had hitherto composed. The second movement, Larghetto, is in the relative major of E flat and features a strikingly simple principal theme. The final movement, Allegretto, returns to the home key of C minor and presents a theme followed by eight variations.

The work is one of Mozart's most advanced compositions in the concerto genre. Its early admirers included Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms. Musicologist Arthur Hutchings considered it to be Mozart's greatest piano concerto.

Piano Concerto No. 24 In C-Minor, KV 491: I. Allegro

My keyboard rendition of Mozart's Symphony No. 40

Symphony No 40 Mozart

wolfgang amadeus mozart - requiem es una pista La Misa de Réquiem en re menor, K. 626, es una obra de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart basada en los textos latinos para el Réquiem, es decir, el acto litúrgico católico celebrado tras el fallecimiento de una persona; se trata de la decimonovena y última misa escrita por Mozart. Mozart murió antes de terminarla, en 1791. En junio de 1791, Mozart ofreció en Viena uno de sus últimos conciertos públicos; tocó el Concierto para piano n.º 27 (KV 595). Su último hijo, Franz Xaver Wolfgang, nació el 26 de julio.
Pocos días antes se presentó en su casa un desconocido, vestido de gris, que rehusó identificarse y que encargó a Mozart la composición de un réquiem. Le dio un adelanto y quedaron en que regresaría en un mes. Pero el compositor fue llamado desde Praga para escribir la ópera La clemencia de Tito, para festejar la coronación de Leopoldo II.
Cuando subía con su esposa al carruaje que los llevaría a esa ciudad, el desconocido se presentó otra vez, preguntando por su encargo. Esto sobrecogió al compositor.
Más tarde se supo que aquel sombrío personaje (al parecer, llamado Franz Anton Leitgeb) era un enviado del conde Franz von Walsegg, músico aficionado cuya esposa había fallecido. El viudo deseaba que Mozart compusiese la misa de réquiem para los funerales de su mujer, pero quería hacer creer a los demás que la obra era suya y por eso permanecía en el anonimato.
Según la leyenda, Mozart, obsesionado con la idea de la muerte, desde la de su padre, debilitado por la fatiga y la enfermedad, muy sensible a lo sobrenatural por su vinculación con la francmasonería[cita requerida] e impresionado por el aspecto del enviado, terminó por creer que éste era un mensajero del Destino y que el réquiem que iba a componer sería para su propio funeral.
Mozart, al morir, consiguió terminar tan solo tres secciones con el coro y órgano completo: Introitus, Kyrie y Dies Irae. Del resto de la Secuencia dejó las partes instrumentales, el coro, voces solistas y el cifrado del bajo y órgano incompletos, además de anotaciones para su discípulo Franz Xaver Süssmayr. También había indicaciones instrumentales y corales en el Domine Jesu y en el Agnus Dei. No había dejado nada escrito para el Sanctus ni el Communio. Aunque en un principio Constanze, su viuda, pidió al músico de la Corte Joseph Leopold Eybler que terminase el Réquiem, fue su discípulo Süssmayer quien lo acabó (siguiendo las directrices de Mozart), completando las partes faltantes de la instrumentación, agregando música en donde faltaba y componiendo íntegramente el Sanctus. Para el Communio, simplemente utilizó los temas del Introito y el Kyrie, a manera de reexposición, para darle cierta coherencia a la obra.
Una de las principales influencias de esta obra puede hallarse en el Réquiem de Michael Haydn compuesto en el año 1771 para la muerte del arzobispo de Salzburgo S. C. Schrattenbach.
Aunque al parecer se interpretaron extractos del Réquiem en una misa en memoria de Mozart celebrada el 10 de diciembre de 1791, el estreno de la obra completa se produjo en Viena el 2 de enero de 1793 en un concierto en beneficio de la viuda del músico austríaco, (Constanze Weber). Fue interpretado de nuevo el 14 de diciembre de 1793, durante la misa que conmemoraba la muerte de la esposa del conde Walsegg y bajo la dirección del propio conde.
Después de esta interpretación, el conde Walsseg realizó una reducción para quinteto de cuerda, pero la obra no volvió a interpretarse bajo su patrocinio.
