Correct response: What is Requiem (in D Minor)?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor was commissioned by the Count Franz von Walsegg-Stuppach; intended as a tribute to the count’s wife, the Count liked to pretend that he was a better composer than he was.
As he was also working on a pair of operas and beginning to suffer from the illnesses that would kill him, the piece was unfinished by Mozart at the time of his death and has been completed by others since.
