Lacrimosa
Mozart died before he could complete his Requiem. And of this movement, Lacrimosa, only the first eight bars are known to have been written by him. Nevertheless, even a small piece of Mozart’s genius was enough to create a work of tragic beauty which is a suitable tribute for all those whose lives have been cut short. I hope I don’t have to say any more about why I’m posting it now at the end of this horrible week.

No, it was completed by his student Sussmayr.
