The story of Mozart's dark, troubled, and obsessive creation of the The Requiem (in D Minor, K. 626, 1791) has catalyzed the romantic ideations of the self-destructive nature of genius for centuries. He is but one example of humanities fascination with premature death- a prodigy driven mad by his personal, expressive journey for truth, literally dying for his craft. His story is further propelled by myths of intrigue, artistic rivalries, and murder. There could be no more perfect a merging of music and the heart than this seductive tale of the unfulfilled, unfinished, and unrequited.
