This print titled "Mozart and the Mysterious Stranger, 1791 (c1914)" captures a significant moment in the life of the renowned composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The enigmatic stranger depicted in the image was actually a messenger sent by Count Walsegg-Stuppach, an Austrian nobleman with a secret agenda. In February 1791, tragedy struck when the Count's young wife, Anna, passed away at just twenty years old. Seeking to honor her memory, he commissioned Mozart to create a Requiem for voices and orchestra. However, unbeknownst to Mozart, the Count intended to pass off this masterpiece as his own composition. Sadly, fate intervened before Mozart could complete his final opus. He met an untimely demise before finishing the Requiem. Nevertheless, one of his talented pupils took up the task of completing it according to Mozart's vision. The finished Requiem was duly delivered to its rightful recipient – Count Walsegg-Stuppach – who remained unaware of its true origins. This intriguing story sheds light on both Mozart's genius as a composer and the lengths some individuals would go to claim artistic credit. May Byron's book "A Day With Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart" provides further insight into this remarkable tale that has captivated music enthusiasts throughout history. Through this evocative photograph from c1914 London edition published by May Byron herself; we are transported back in time and invited into this mysterious chapter of
