The story of the Requiem's creation is shrouded in anecdotes and legends. Overwork from composing and performing La Clemenza di Tito and The Magic Flute as well as an acute infection led to the composer's collapse and death after a short illness. Mozart left his wife with considerable debts; Constanze therefore turned to Mozart's friends with the request to complete the fragment. After two failed attempts, the task was given to Mozart's pupil Franz Xaver Süßmayr, who completed the Requiem in the form we know today. He had at his disposal workshop material that is now lost, and perhaps also oral instructions from Mozart. This version is still the best-known today and is undoubtedly the closest to Mozart historically.
