Who Killed Mozart?

On November 20, 1791, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart fell ill and was bedridden. On December 4, he gave his final instructions for the completion of the Requiem. On December 5, at around 1 a.m., he breathed his last. He was 35 years old. To this day, riddles and mysteries surround the circumstances of his death and the improbable manner in which he was buried. In this revealing book, Francis Carr gradually unravels the mystery of the silent conspiracy against Mozart. What do the persistent lies of his widow Konstanze mean? Why was Baron von Swieten suddenly dismissed from office? Why was Mozart's funeral service rushed through so quickly and was he buried in a mass grave without a single witness? Why was his final resting place visited by no one for 17 years? Did Mozart really die ingloriously, depressed and poor? Or did his future prospects look rather rosy? What were his connections to Freemasonry? The author makes it very clear that Mozart died at the height of his career, murdered by one of his best friends, a Freemason like himself. But for what terrible reason?
