I consider this to easily be one of Mozart's greatest works. The intensity and darkness are only equaled by the Dies Irae in the Requiem (and possibly the Kyrie). But even there, it isn't quite as suffocating as it is here (in a good way). The chromaticism in this is so far ahead of its time, parts of it sound like they could have been written by Tchaikovsky (if he had had more technical discipline).
Play this the next time someone tells you Mozart only wrote simple, pretty music.

Fabuloso, simplemente hermoso, esta música me produce una sensación de serenidad, despertando en mí una especie de asombro y temor. Este lado de un Mozart serio y con cierto dramatismo es fantástico. Mozart, el mas grande de todos los CLASICOS!!!!

@KSava You can find it on "Requiem" - Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Herbert von Karajan

@sunburststratocaster Agreed 100%. I LOVE his music like this much more than his lighter sounding works. But alas, the people of his time wanted to hear the lighter works, and he needed to make a living. lol

@HarveyEspatchelowe Trust me, 'intense' is about all you need to say about this piece.

What number is this work?

Intense! (I'm not educated in music criticism...lol)

I wish Mozart wrote more dark music like this.

that is no legend, every school-kid knows that.
Was this the son he was working on with Sarieli when he died in the movie????

@kathysawrey1 No. In the movie he was giving orders to Salieri for the "Confutatis" of the "Requiem Mass".
