Episode nine. The final year. Mozart's abilities were now widely recognised - although not much rewarded. But his music was also regarded as wilfully difficult, with risque subject matter. And money problems continued to circle. "I feel as if my time is short, as if I'm composing the Requiem for myself. I cannot rid myself of the notion that someone is trying to poison me!" Written and presented by Dr Stanley Sadie.
