While still in his mid-teens, Mozart went to Rome and visited the Vatican to hear the famous Ash-Wednesday anthem Miserere Mei ('Have mercy on me') in its setting by Allegri ~ this, of course, over a century before recording or broadcasting were invented. How many times did he listen to it in performance before writing it down, complete, from memory?

Once in performance, plus he listened-in during rehearsals

Anywhere vaguely appropriate that they think they can sell them, Austrian shops and stalls will offer you souvenir Mozart-kugeln ~ confectionery in a form reminding us of one of Mozart's hobbies. What are they?

Miniature horses made of nougat or marzipan

Billiard-balls made of chocolate

Violin-shaped bottles of liqueur

Sweet dough rolls in the form of skittles

When Mozart died in 1791 he left behind an uncompleted requiem (a large work for voices and orchestra, in sacred honour of someone who has died). What happened at the first performance?

The work was performed incomplete, with the musicians stopping playing/singing at the last notes Mozart had actually written (which was obviously very poignant)

The musicians were all colleagues and/or pupils of Mozart, so they improvised the rest of the work in his honour

The master-score was completed by a close assistant of Mozart, on the basis of draft sketches he had already left

Mozart's publishers quietly got another composer to finish the work under a false name
