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)

Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1782 and is also called the Haffner Symphony. It was commissioned by the Haffners, a prominent Salzburg family, for the occasion of Sigmund Haffner's ennoblement. 

The Haffner Symphony should not be confused with the eight-movement Haffner Serenade, another piece Mozart wrote on commission from the same family in 1776.

I. Allegro con spirito

When communicating with his father Leopold, Mozart stated that this movement was to be played with fire. The movement is in sonata form with a short development section. The exposition commences with no introduction with all instruments in unison, this opening motive is quite powerful – the result of cleverly using sharp dotted rhythms to arrest the listener's attention.

The second subject is similar in melodic material and rhythm to the first subject, recalling the monothematic sonata movements of Haydn (e.g. Symphony No. 104).

Mozart places no repeat signs at the end of the exposition. This goes against the standard sonata form convention of the day, but is something that he also does in the three big symphonies which precede the Haffner (No's. 31, 33 and 34).

The development begins with an A unison as a transition from A major to D minor (bars 95–104). After three beats silence, Mozart shifts from the dominant of D minor to an F♯ chord, and then begins a series of rapid chord changes, namely – F♯7 (bar 106), B (bar 109), B minor (bar 110), C♯7 (bar 110). Finally, using C♯7 as the dominant for F♯ minor, Mozart briefly delves in this key (bars 111–120) before using a string of consecutive dominant 7ths (bars 120–129) to work back to the dominant 7th of D major in preparation for the recapitulation. 

The recapitulation is similar to the exposition with the exception of expected differences in the transition passage. This movement closes with a short four-bar coda.

The famous prelude to "Die Walküre" is the "Ride of the Valkyries". As an exceptional piece to unveil an opera about female Norse archetypes with powers to condemn the fate of war soldiers, "Ride of the Valkyries" is revered for its climatic and invigorating nature, deeming it popular and best suited among many films and TV productions.
