Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem in D minor - 2024 ACF Fall

Question

During the 1960s, an “Amen” Fugue was discovered which is widely believed to belong to this piece. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this piece commissioned by Count Franz von Walsegg (“VALS-egg”), who may have intended to pass it off as his own. A series of two-note phrases in 12/8 (“twelve eight”) time open this piece’s “Lacrimosa” section.

ANSWER: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem in D minor [or K. 626; prompt on Requiem by asking “by which composer?”; prompt on Mozart’s mass; reject “Mass in C minor”]

[10e] The Tuba mirum movement of Mozart’s Requiem opens with an arpeggiated solo played by this instrument. Unlike other members of the brass family, this instrument uses a slide to change the pitch of notes.

ANSWER: trombone [accept tenor trombone]

[10m] A common myth associates this composer with the completion of Mozart’s Requiem. This prolific composer of operas was based at the Habsburg court, and a Rimsky-Korsakov opera later fictionalized his rivalry with Mozart.

ANSWER: Antonio Salieri
