Composer of the Week

Part Four

Composer of the Week

Mozart's Vienna Contemporaries

Part Five

In 1790, the music-loving Emperor Joseph 11 dies and his brother Leopold succeeds him. Mozart attends his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor in Frankfurt and also writes Cosi fan tutte. Next year his sixth child is born, one of only two to survive infancy. Mozart becomes involved with a German-language opera troupe but will not survive kidney failure and acute rheumatic fever. His reputation grows posthumously as that of his contemporaries declines.
