Josef Mysliviček (1737 - 1781), a composer greatly respected by Mozart, lost his nose as a result of syphilis. The disfigurement blunted his career, for he never regained his social standing. He succumbed at the age of 43.
Requiem in E flat major
Period: | Classicism |
Musical form: | mass |
Text/libretto: | Latin mass |
This requiem is preserved in RISM D-TEGha: Tegernsee, Herzogliches Archiv.
It is attributed to Myslivecek. The manuscript doesn't
date from Myslivecek's lifetime, and I consider the attribution to be
doubtful.
