After a long blank period, K. 515 and K. 516 were written in 1787, K. 593 in 1790, and K. 614 in 1791, the last year of Mozart's life. K. 406 is an arrangement of the "Serenade in C minor," K. 388. The last two years of Mozart's life were a period of unimaginable hard work to repay debts. He worked on three different types of operas: "Così fan tutte" (buffa), "La clemenza di Tito" (seria), and "The Magic Flute" (Singspiel), as well as the "Requiem." Then, his condition worsened, and he passed away at the young age of 35. The "Requiem" was unfinished, but it is said that Mozart's wife, Constanze, had Mozart's disciple, Süssmayr, complete it in order to receive half of the payment. What is the music conveying that we hear from the String Quintets in D major, K. 593, and E-flat major, K. 614, written when death was imminent? Disc 2 begins with K. 174, written when he was 17, includes K. 516 in G minor in the middle, and ends with the last piece, K. 614. Excellent condition
