Abstract

The article considers the hypothesis of the possible endings of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Requiem mass. Based on the study of the epistolary heritage of the composer the author attempts to reconstruct the events of the last days of the great Viennese classics, as well as to identify the Requiem`s author attitude to death. The author gives reasons for the early end of Mozart’s life, addresses the issues of philosophical understanding of the problems of death. When considering a vocal-symphonic work researchers usually apply intonation-and-stylistic analysis that allows to draw conclusions about the organic nature and thematic unity of all parts of the cycle. The usage of the musical-rhetorical vocabulary and terminology of the Baroque helped to identify features of the musical text of the Requiem mass
