Composers of the Week:Mozart's Vienna Contemporaries

on BBC Radio 3

5/5. 1790-91. In 1790, Mozart writes Cosi Fan
Tutte. Next year his sixth child is born, one of only two to survive infancy. Mozart becomes involved with a German-language opera troupe - but will not survive kidney failure and acute rheumatic fever. His reputation grows posthumously as that of his contemporaries declines.
