Mozart - 18 th Century
Mozart was a gifted genius in the world of music. His
ability to lift the heart, refresh the spirit, distil joy, is beyond
compare. His musical career began at four years of age. He suffered disappointments
and rejections during his short life. He was buried in a common grave. Yet,
his light-hearted spirit continues to grace our world with magical sound.
He died in his thirties and wrote this letter to his father in 1778.
‘’Dear Father, since death is the ultimate purpose of
life, I have made myself acquainted with this real friend of mankind. I am
not frightened, rather comforted and consoled. I never lie down to sleep, without
thinking, young as I am, that I may not live to see another day. I will not
be saddened or unwilling, when the time comes. For this happiness, I thank
my Creator every day. I wish the same happiness to everyone in my life.”
The words are as beautiful as his farewell requiem.
