    continued to produce masterpieces for the Viennese public‚ including his Clarinet Concerto (he was one of the first to compose for this new instrument) and his final opera‚ The Magic Flute (1791). With a kind of fevered desperation‚ he then turned to the Requiem Mass‚ which had been commissioned by a music-loving count.
