Requiem: A Novel of Mozart (English Edition)

In this historical novel, as Mozart lies dying and friends sing movements from his Requiem, his fevered imagination recalls striking episodes from his life in Salzburg, Mannheim, Paris, and Vienna. Since its publication in 1932, Weill's novel has appeared only in a Latvian translation--significant because it was in a concentration camp in Riga-Kaiserwald, Latvia, that Erwin Weill died at the hands of the Nazis in January, 1942.
