British composer Anna Clyne’s furious orchestral piece was inspired by Haydn’s Symphony No 60, Il Distratto and Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Luciano Berio went about a “musical restoration” based on the models and motifs of Franz Schubert’s unfinished Symphony No 10. His aim was to reveal Schubert’s colours and structures without trying to conceal the innovations that music has witnessed in the intervening time. At the world premiere of Michael Haydn’s Missa pro defuncto in Salzburg in 1771, a young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played in the orchestra alongside his father Leopold. This experience indelibly etched Haydn’s requiem into the then 15-year-old’s mind. Composing a requiem if his own 20 years later, he adopted both key sequences and musical structures from Haydn’s work.
