Mozart's death?


i need links and all the info i can get. only about his death though, thanks

First of, do not go by the movie Amadeus, even though it is a good biography, it is fictional. Saleri did not poision Mozart, that is just all made up.

He fell ill and died, basically. He had this mindset to write a requiem while he was dying, which ironically is considered one of this best works. He was buried in a common grave with no headstone. We can't find his buiral spot. Read more here:

Good luck!

Beware common false information:
He did NOT die poor
He was not Poisoned

Get this at your local library:
Mozart: A life by Maynard Solomon
http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Life-Maynar...

Check the link below. And it should give you some more links off the references.

Links? It's winter, the golf courses are all closed. Go get a book. The best I've seen on Mozart's final years is: Mozart In Vienna, 1781-1791; by Volkmar Braunbehrens - Grove Weidenfeld, 1990 - ISBN #0802110096.
He outlines in a chapter on Mozart's death the true social and political circumstances of the composer's burial, and the real reasons Mozart's grave went unmarked.
